A man on the street asked me where i was going I looked at him and say "man i wish that i was knowing, It seems im always up against the wind thats blowing And its such a long way off Such a long way off And mabye its a coffin thats a cure for my cough Thats a long way off Im waging all my wins on a table of puppetiers She looked at me and said "man we dont play that game here" Just russian roullet with a pistol to your ear And your a long way off Such a long way off She said "you were rolling" i just said "im rollin off" Such a long way off I sang candies for my dreams as they hung from the trees She stole the fruits of all my victories I was waiting for a thank you but i never got a please I was a long way off Its such a long way off My head has grown heavey and my heart gone soft Its such a long way off I felt that i was flaoting somewhere out in outterspace I really thought i found it by looking in her face But i guess i never found it in the first place I was a long way off Such a long way off I would sink like a stone if i wouldnt carry aloft Such a long way off... Such a long way off said the wrong way Such a long way off...
