Long Gone

I've gone 14 years, 6 tall cold ones, and a pack of stick. I've feeling heavy and I'm sitting on a barrel, I can't get back on the straight and narrow. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Mom called I read my notes, said I'm not on drugs, and I'm heading home. (My) face melts in the mirror and starring back is a shadow figure. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Long gone. Hole burned in my nose, I'm paranoid, and I'm sweating oil. Car keys in my hands, but I ain't driving nowhere, it's too bumpy, yeah. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Woke up, I ain't got no close, call me Zordon as I strike my pose. Sleeping in the tub, plug the drain, it flows up from my guts. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Long gone. I've gone 14 hours, eat some greasy food, stomach feeling sour. I'm feeling heavy and I'm sitting on a barrel, I can't get back on the straight and narrow. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Work came knocking on my door, but I'm sleeping in, I won't wake at all. I'm a cockroach and I scurry on the floor, hiding in the dark, I'm long gone now. I'm long gone but it's something that I'm working on. Long gone.

We never made it to Memphis, I wish we got the chance. You said you're not a real musician until you been to Graceland. We never made it to Nashville, I would have driven you that far, but you didn't want the hassle of sitting that long in a car. You said "one day babe we'll fly on down to Tennessee, you can see where I spent part of my life and my fucked up family." And I said "ooo, I can't wait because I love you baby doll and I've only seen a few places from your past, but I'd sure like to visit them all." We never made it to Metropolis, that was always the plan but you went and put a stop to this, I couldn't be your Superman. We never made it to Kentucky, saw your nephews or your niece, I didn't get to ride your horses down those dirt covered streets. But you said "one day babe we'll fly on down to Kentucky, we can stop in Illinois, see the girls and boys and my fucked up family." And I said "ooo, I can't wait because I love you baby doll and I've only seen a few parts of this country but with you I'd go see them all." We never made it to the beach, we never fished, we never reached our fingers into the sand. Last summer we were just trying to stay alive, this summer we're just god dammed, this summer we're just god dammed. Now I say "ooo, now wait, where you going baby doll, you're getting confused it's the plane not you that's supposed to take off."

Go Round'

Well I once knew a pretty little things as if it were a dream, no ones glance could ever trance me like that blue and fiery sea, no ones voice could ever hoist me bring me right down to my knees, until that storm without a warning came right up from Tennessee, until that storm without a warning came right up from Tennessee. Oh we go round this carousel that's burning to the ground, we go round grab a ticket lord and hop aboard lets burn this sucker down. Well she once knew a love so true then she threw it all away, being happy was the last thing I could give to her that day, then she'd bring me back and I'd relax then she'd go and kick me out, we've been back and forth this fucked up course more times than I can count. Oh we go round this carousel that's burning to the ground, we go round grab a ticket lord and hop aboard lets burn this sucker down.

Shadow in the room, and I'm a puppet with strings flopping around. Marionette it's the way I was born to be, just a stooge who can't move without conviction, and I flop on command addicted to the beat of a flux, a market, and a cycle. Shadow in the room, and I'm a puppet with strings flopping around. My arms up, my arms down, my arms bopping around and around and I flop on command addicted to the beat of a flux, a market, and a cycle. Shadow in the room, and I'm a puppet with strings flopping around.
