Lyrics

[00:10.02] fightclub work
[00:11.20] One...Two...One...Two
[00:13.70]
[00:34.85] Know a man
[00:36.73]
[00:39.53] His face seemed pulled and tense
[00:43.78]
[00:46.77] Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
[00:51.89] In the strongest winds
[00:54.46]
[00:57.40] So I approach with tact
[01:00.58]
[01:02.14] Suggest that he should relax
[01:04.76]
[01:07.57] But he's always movin' much too fast
[01:13.24]
[01:14.18] Said he'll see me on the flip side
[01:17.46]
[01:19.51] On this trip he's taken for a ride
[01:24.23] He's been takin' too much on
[01:30.27] There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
[01:37.09]
[01:40.89] There he goes
[01:43.15]
[02:06.74] He's yet to come back
[02:08.79]
[02:12.48] But I seen his picture
[02:15.35]
[02:17.34] It doesn't look the same up on the rack
[02:22.90]
[02:26.65] We go way back
[02:29.58]
[02:31.45] I wonder 'bout his insides
[02:34.63]
[02:36.20] It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
[02:41.12] He's been taken...where, I don't know
[02:46.37]
[02:47.12] Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
[02:53.63]
[02:57.93] There he goes
[03:00.80]
[03:23.58] And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
[03:30.70]
[03:33.63] Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
[03:40.65]
[03:44.02] For he still smiles... And he's still strong
[03:52.09]
[03:55.14] Nothing changed but the surroundin' bullshit
[03:59.38]
[03:59.93] That has grown
[04:01.81]
[04:05.86] And now he's home and we're laughin'
[04:10.61] Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
[04:17.13]
[04:20.56] Until a quarter to ten
[04:22.82]
[04:26.43] I saw the strain creep in
[04:29.08]
[04:31.83] He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
[04:38.44]
[04:42.12] Before his first step, he's off again
