The Slackers
A Long Way Off
A man on the street asked me where i was going
I looked at him and say "man i wish that i was knowing
It seems im always up against the wind thats blowing
And its such a long way off
Such a long way off
And mabye its a coffin thats a cure for my cough
Thats a long way off
Im waging all my wins on a table of puppetiers
She looked at me and said "man we dont play that game here"
Just russian roullet with a pistol to your ear
And your a long way off
Such a long way off
She said "you were rolling" i just said "im rollin off"
Such a long way off
I sang candies for my dreams as they hung from the trees
She stole the fruits of all my victories
I was waiting for a thank you but i never got a please
I was a long way off
Its such a long way off
My head has grown heavey and my heart gone soft
Its such a long way off
I felt that i was flaoting somewhere out in outterspace
I really thought i found it by looking in her face
But i guess i never found it in the first place
I was a long way off
Such a long way off
I would sink like a stone if i wouldn't carry aloft
Such a long way off.....
Such a long way off said the wrong way
Such a long way off...
