[00:01.51] Off He Goes
[00:02.53]
[00:03.20] Pearl Jam Lyrics
[00:04.24]
[00:11.25] One...Two...One...Two
[00:35.06] Know a man
[00:39.61] His face seemed pulled and tense
[00:47.30] Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
[00:52.10] In the strongest winds
[00:57.93] So I approach with tact
[01:02.67] Suggest that he should relax
[01:08.02] But he's always movin' much too fast
[01:13.26]
[01:14.70] Said he'll see me on the flip side
[01:20.09] On this trip he's taken for a ride
[01:24.61] He's been takin' too much on
[01:30.45] There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
[01:41.09] There he goes
[01:44.95]
[02:07.19] He's yet to come back
[02:12.81] But I seen his picture
[02:17.71] It doesn't look the same up on the rack
[02:27.14] We go way back
[02:32.03] I wonder 'bout his insides
[02:36.64] It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
[02:40.36]
[02:41.39] He's been taken...where, I don't know
[02:47.34] Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
[02:58.41] There he goes
[03:03.07]
[03:24.07] And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
[03:33.88] Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
[03:44.44] For he still smiles... And he's still strong
[03:55.36] Nothing changed but the surroundin' bullshit
[04:00.31] That has grown
[04:03.72]
[04:06.19] And now he's home and we're laughin'
[04:10.78] Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
[04:20.90] Until a quarter to ten
[04:26.81] I saw the strain creep in
[04:32.23] He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
[04:40.51]
[04:42.54] Before his first step, he's off again
[04:57.51]
