Lyrics

And then the past recedes,

and I won't be involved.

The Effort to be free,

seems pointless from above.

You're lookin down at me,

I'd rather stay below.

Then have you staring up at me,

there's nowhere I want to go.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

I, this business of how long we try,

to stay alive.

Why, to be here you've first got to die,

so I gave it a try.

And, what do you know,

time was so long ago.

And things come back you see,

to where they don't belong.

And every drop of sea,

is the whole ocean... ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

I lied, to the greatest thieves about anything,

and everything.

I'm, a figure of forgotten speech,

I'm out of reach.

Oh I, can't play it safe but I might just in case.

Solo

Ohhhhhhhhhh

I'm, disguised as a reaching hand,

I'm a working man.

I don't, understand why clockout,

comes so slow every time.

That's one line I'll stay,

right behind.

That's one line I'll stay,

right behind.
