Brother, learn from my mistakes.
Don't stick around here for two and a half years,
Just get on your skates.
That might seem like an obvious thing to say
But there was no one to say that to me-
I don't blame them but, hey,
I'll be standing in the last car of the train.
All's well that ends well, I guess.
But it's a fixed race, hey,
I'll save my breath for the next.
I could stay awake, it does wonders for my health-
We're stuck in circles
Trying to outrun ourselves.
We're like wild geese getting lost in the rain.
