The Paper Chase
The Riot Jack
So they call themself up the riot jack
It was fine ‘til today
Framed it as a centerpiece
Never mind what they say

But now I am walking this desert
With a tin cup for a phone
And a quarter for emergencies
Just trying to get home

So I’m slowly finding out that this could be
The very end of me
And it’s futile shouting out at sandy seas
The vast eternities

So the sun broke out the sanity
I held on ‘til today
Vacuumed up with all my dignity
That I had stowed away

But now desperation is endless
This direction that I roam
I’m clinging to the fantasy
Of trying to get home

So I’m slowly finding out that this could be
The very end of me
And it’s futile shouting out at sandy seas
The vast eternities
But now I am walking this desert
With a tin cup for a phone
And a quarter for emergencies
Just trying to get home

But now I am walking this desert
With a tin cup for a phone
And a quarter for emergencies
Just trying to get home

But now I am walking this desert
With a tin cup for a phone
And a quarter for emergencies
Just trying to get home
