I'm on a long sojourn
|
I'm sitting here shedding my skin
|
Don't know about inside, ugly on the outside
|
They're all messing with me for the shape I'm in
|
I'm looking for a clean slate
|
Just need to find a new mind state
|
Hey, let's go looking for squirrels
|
Let's find something to do
|
I think she's shooting it right at you
|
Look down I said right at you
|
|
And the hail falls hard
|
And the wind whips my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from anywhere real safe
|
And the storm clouds are flying high
|
Mud all over my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from my resting place
|
|
Hey, let's duck down this side street
|
Maybe no, nobody else will see
|
Everybody sees us as big fat bastards
|
But I can just se you looking at me
|
Ever feel like a side-show attraction
|
Ever feel like a walking infraction
|
Some people call me Tarzan in my big, big sweats
|
Don't know just what they mean
|
Maybe not good, real bad I bet
|
|
And the hail falls hard
|
And the wind whips my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space
|
And the storm clouds are flying high
|
Mud all over my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from my resting place
|
|
I'm looking for a clean slate
|
Just need to find a new way, way to relate
|
You ever feel like a street walker
|
I get by being a funny talker
|
All those funny jokes sting, so keep walking
|
|
And the hail falls hard
|
And the wind whips my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space
|
And the storm clouds are flying high
|
Mud all over my face
|
And I'm a long, long way from my resting place
|
