What I see is what's to be
Cartwheels to eternity
Round and round my head she goes
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes
Took our picture by the sea
The ocean waits to carry me
Carry me back home again
To where she sleeps
I lay my head
Saw her running barefoot
But the ground there never touched her feet.
Lost her in the shadows
While the tide came iin and claimed our beach.
We could've made it in the dunes
We had it all within our reach.
But I've got a lot of life to learn and you've got a lot of life to teach.
Chorus:
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss, just like a rolling...
What I say is what I mean
No definition in between
Couldn't make it in the movie scene
You couldn't stay on, you couldn't stay clean.
What you wear is who you are
The odds are in and you'll go far.
A penny for your thoughts, you see
A nickel buys you what you need.
Saw you on the big show,
Saw you swinging from the big trapeze.
Standing on my tiptoes
While you brush the dirt from off your knees.
Should've come as no surprise,
No one else here did have your drive.
You got a big white stretch parked right outside
Nobody there to share your ride.
Chorus:
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home.
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned.
(Guitar)
What I know is what I hear
The ringing in my ears is clear.
A monley's get it made you see
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree.
Chorus:
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home.
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss, just like a rolling stone.
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home.
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned?
Dead, Drunk, or Stoned...
Just like a rolling stone
