Life ain't all that easy on the outside looking in
It feels so wrong to be underneath
And I'm sick of feeling lonely when you're buried in my skin
You know the best laid plans
Weren't even made by man
So can you give me a minute?
I just need some time to think
Another second for myself to get well
You're spit-shine surface, left soul-searching
Lying to get by, and I can't hold a candle
To your gemstone eyes
So I'll give you a minute
Hear it tick, tick, tick
So long space cowboy
Let the animal take you away
Steal a nitro kiss,
Board your rocket ship
Go on, fox rider,
Can we hear that kitten purr?
So long space cowboy
Let the medicine take you away
Spurred on for one more
One more big break
(Steal a nitro kiss
Board your rocket ship
Go on, mother fucker
Can you show me what you got now?)
You're spit-shine surface, left soul-searching
Lying to get by, and I can't hold a candle
To your gemstone eyes
