One two three four
And then the past recedes
and I won't be involved
the effort to be free
seems pointless
from above
You're looking
down at me
I'd rather stay below
than have you staring
up at me
is nowhere I want to go
ay
This business of how
long we try
to stay alive
Why to be here
you 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
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
I'm disguised
as a reaching hand
I'm a working man
I don't understand
why clock-out
comes so slow every time
that's one line I stay
right behind
that's one line I stay
right behind
yeah
