So maybe you could do with a break
|
You've had about all you can take
|
You need to find somewhere you can run to
|
|
Somewhere a long way from here
|
Somewhere where the skies are all clear
|
Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through
|
|
It took a long time to make me understand
|
You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand
|
You gotta use your emotion
|
|
You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease
|
You want to sit back and count your memories
|
But that's no solution
|
|
I don't want to harp about it
|
But what you gonna do about it?
|
|
Look at how you're set in your ways
|
You used to be so willing to face
|
Any find of problem before you
|
|
Life is not as long as you think
|
Open up your mind and you'll see
|
Don't destroy yourself I implore you
|
|
You've got a fine wife, a perfect family
|
You had it all planned to live so carefully
|
But where does it get you
|
|
They say the mind is an awful thing to waste
|
And that's a fact that you must come to face
|
What more can I tell you?
