lyrics

60 on the back nine, yea you threw it all away
a totem pole of Southern soul you stare at everyday
A deck of cards reflects the stars, and you know the best part, of not knowing where you’re going is not knowing where you’re getting off
That’s why I’m tip-toeing through eternity with a bottle of spray paint, so I can tag my name on those stars and watch it fade away
I feel great today, cause I know this isn’t it

So you meet Suzie Q in a room with a view, and she ain’t got a clue that you do what you do, cause you’re worried the truth, she won’t approve, and the snake in you’s confused cause she’s some kind of flute
Well we all play the game, we’re all one in the same, a bunch of bums on a train, headed for the slums of our brains, numb from the pain of thinking “this aint it”

but if you fall before you reach the stage
if your future stalls, or your plans misbehave
send a signal out along the last airwave
and I will sing this song to you

You don't know what you don't know
you're the ocean, not the boat
your bloodflow is the undertow
the moon will move you to and fro
all you need to know is where you want to be

but when all you feel is her touch
the orchestra erupts
and though you don't know much you think you know enough
about where you wanna, where you wanna be
