lyrics

Welcome to the experiment — it’s a placebo or a stimulant
But I don’t want to begin up until the drugs kick in
It’s long, long day — they’re all the same
When you’re taking care not to edge too close to the precipice

It’s a long way down so, I’ve been told
Life can be a drag, it’s quick to get old
You’re bound to cop some flak if you leave yourself exposed
But you have to keep passing the open windows

It can be tiring I guess, amusing yourself to death
It’s pretty hard to return serve when they say, “everything is the worst”
I’m terrified of silence, more than death, taxes or violence
Go to church so I can sin, cheer if I lose and cry if I win

It’s a long way down so, I’ve been told
Life can be a drag, it’s quick to get old
You’re bound to cop some flak if your leave your skin exposed
But you have to keep passing the open windows
So that you don’t eliminate your own map

Then it hit me like a violent breeze
Floating off the coast somewhere in the sea of trees
I looked like immortality
But it felt kind of temporary
But if I’m entertained to death will I have any regrets?
And should I pity for the dead or pity the ones still left?

And it’s a long way down so, I’ve been told
Life can be a drag, it’s quick to get old
You’re bound to cop some flak if you leave yourself exposed
But you have to keep passing the open windows
