I've been running with the wolves,
I've been living off the land,
I've been hiding out,
I could give you shit off hand,
Off camera, names worth a grand,
I could show you, to keep it low,
And you could show me to stray from all the brands,
Is me that you can find,
Can you catch me if you can?
Could you rope me down the moon,
And can he teach me to dance?
He's celestial, to me,
With his hands behind his back,
Could you speak in words of liquor,
And do you think my choice of tongue
Might be a little quicker?
Feet up on your dash,
From the window, I peel stickers,
Adhesive all melted,
I've got knives that move slicker,
Could you fix her?
With a needle up her arm,
I watch the candles flicker,
Keep my eyes on the floor,
We wait for god to finish dinner,
I'm observant,
Watch you fall apart, I'm no quitter,
I carry wooden beams,
For all I've seen,
And they treat it like a splinter,
But what I mean,
Is, it's support,
Holding walls that just get thicker,
Trailer houses,
With blocks made of cinder,
I was only a beginner,
And I've been running from the paranoia,
Times only a ticker,
Just a mark of what's left
And not what we've done, it doesn't hinder,
For you, for me,
For anyone.
It's the trivial aspects that hold me down below,
I tell you that it's fine,
So you won't have to know,
And I'm smart,
But lately it's something I can't show,
A performance,
Test me if you wish,
I'll get in my head and think that I've failed
But that's only a gift,
For failure is a lesson,
And for this,
I get so far,
So far out in a field,
That no one mows.
Windows are all covered,
Does it rain or does it snow?
Has the sun been out lately,
Could you tell me where it goes?
Could it stay
For a cup of cold coffee and a smoke?
Too much to ask maybe,
Should I choke?
I've been dwelling on the distance,
On these pages all unwritten,
I'm somewhere alone,
But I'm not missing,
You could send out the search dogs
But they don't understand this kind of mission,
On the counter in the kitchen
Can you catch me
Can you catch me
I don't fucking think you can.
