Dyed in the wool, you’ve been
cornered by unnatural desire.
You want to hop along
with the giddy throng
through life.
But how’d you learn to steer
when you’re grinding all your gears?
You’ve been talking for hours.
You said time will wash every tower
to the sea.
Now you’ve got this
worry in your heart.
Well, I guess it’s only life,
it’s only natural.
We all spend a little while
going down the rabbit hole.
The things they taught you.
They’re lining up to haunt you.
They’ve your back against the wall.
Call you on the telephone.
Wont’ you pick up the receiver?
I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now.
It doesn’t have to be so
dark and lonesome.
It takes a while, but we can
figure this thing out
and turn it back around
You used to be such a lion,
before you got into all this
crying
in my lap.
Back on when you thought I’d
never get this far.
But did you really think I’d shut an open door?
The future’s calling,
and Imma answer.
The wheels in motion.
I never drank your potion,
and I know it breaks your heart.
Open up your parachute,
something’s gotta stop the freefall.
I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now.
It doesn’t have to be so
dark and lonesome.
It takes a while, but
we can figure this thing out
and turn it back around.
