God and Video Games

I see in you a mechanical man

Wide open skies and desert sands

And you've walked those sands and watched those skies

With restless feet and faraway eyes

Holey shoes, unholy jokes

The sound of your laugh through cigarette smoke

Garage attic kingdom, where no one ever knew

Making memories, making all the noise you wanted to

When you come home, can I climb on your back again?

And I'll hold on so tight, you can't breathe

I don't always know you or where you're livin'

But you're a hero and a mystery to me

But if your nights aren't warmed by thicker skin

All I'm asking is that you let me in

When you come home, can I climb on your back again?

And I'll hold on so tightly, you can't leave

I don't always know your or where you're livin'

But you're a hero and a mystery to me

Well you know I've heard we look the most alike

Same sense of humor and the same blood type

And I've been told I sing like you

That's probably because I try so hard to
