a wild field full of trucks fires
substance and beer, good souls and liars
we mix together all the problems for solutions
finally there is a purpose for the nuisance
we right the ship for the going get along
and hold on for the ride when there's evil in the strong
it's looking sweaty as history shows
but i am folding arms cuz you never really know...
just who could run all up in here
but i aint sayin things are supposed to go wrong
can never really tell, trouble's there then its gone
living in the sun i lost track of time
i know i'm not alone and i think i'm still alive
all the sudden im seeing these faces
doing these things and seeing old places
like the past was reborn all along
and all i had to do was wait and hear the same songs....
songs that i used to sing with friends
back in the same place to do it all again
with a cold hand from a cold drink
you're hangin on my neck with your fingernails pink
i am a fishing boat headed back to land
i'm under the control of this ice cold hand
then i get a hard look from a friend
he only tells the truth and he tells me its the end
i will meet you right back in this spot
i'm doing it so you can sit and give it all thought
what are we trying to think about?
the crystal ball and the golden chain
but would you give it up if you knew its all the same?
everytime you risk all your freedom
going up against someone whos seen them
maybe all of our days that passed
were never really meant to feel like they'd last
just kinda feel like you got it goin on
and try to keep it goin til the day that you're gone
cuz what else are we supposed to do?
was this life really meant for you?


but it's not really what we thought it was
and it never really could be
anything any one of us could have ever really foreseen
life is not really what we thought it was
and it never really would be
anything any one of us would have brought upon in our dreams
so we washed away

so we washed away

face down in the master bath
i really didn't think id fuck it up this bad
put all my money, late teens, early twenties
in a college degree
But now it's no use to me!!!
i fall in love with every woman that talks to me
like Rodman I am a rebound machine
believe every word a bird will sing
a little later they stop talkin to me
cuz time flies no overlays
i know they say through time people change
people change....
i know i should but i cannot let go of
i've been so wronged
i read your reply all night long
struck a match it was gone
asking what's in the early stages
learning facts about logical ranges
asking questions about how strange it is
maybe God doesn't speak our language?
time flies no overlays
i know they say through time people change
people change
change...


still it's not really what we thought it was
and it never really could be
anything any one of us could have ever really foreseen
life is not really what we thought it was
and it never really would be
anything any one of us would have brought upon in our dreams
so we washed away
