Know a man…his face seems pulled and tense…
Like he’s riding on a motorbike… in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact… suggest that he should relax…
But he’s always moving much too fast…

Said he’ll see me on the flipside… of this trip he’s taken for a ride
He’s been takin’… too much on… off he goes
With his perfectly… unkept clothes… there he goes…

He’s yet to come back…but I’ve seen his picture
Doesn’t look the same up on the rack…we go way back…

I wonder bout his insides…
It’s like his thoughts are too big for his size
He’s been taken… where? I don’t know… off he goes
With his perfectly… unkept hope… there he goes…
