lyrics

Cars cars racing thoughts
Come back down like an astronaut
I got two friends who look like me
When you look closer it ain't much to see
But there's difference in the way we change
The way we age ain't quite the same
I got a friend from my high school class
When he got to college he aged so fast
His hair fell out and his clothes turned tweed
He started saying grass what he meant was weed
He read all the beats from the 1950s
When he was only 19 people thought he was 60

Oh my god
What do you want
With all this time
What do you want
Oh lord what do you want
What do you want from me

In Tompkins Square in the dirt and the beetles
I jumped off the swings onto a hyperdermic needle
My mom freaked out but the needle was clean
Just a dried left over from the nightlife scene
Well I grew up and the years moved on
Now the park is plastic and the junkies are gone
See the process of change moves different ways
And no matter what nothing ever stays
As natural time shapes our bones and face
the bones of the city are just replaced

-chorus-

Jim jones james dean
I always trust people but not their dreams
You can live today like you'll die tomorrow
But life is bigger then your joys and sorrows
Stuck in solipsistic fears
My god my soul my life my tears
My own undoing my own two hands
My own unwillingness to understand
My heart my voice my right my time
Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine

-chorus-
