Off He Goes歌词

One...Two...One...Two

Know a man

His face seemed pulled and tense

Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
In the strongest winds

So I approach with tact

Suggest that he should relax

But he's always movin' much too fast

Said he'll see me on the flip side

On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin' too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope

There he goes

He's yet to come back

But I seen his picture

It doesn't look the same up on the rack

We go way back

I wonder 'bout his insides

It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken...where, I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope

There he goes

now And I rub my eyes, for he has returned

Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned

For he still smiles... And he's still strong

Nothing changed but the surroundin' ********
That has grown

And now he's home and we're laughin'

Like we always did, my same old, same old friend

Until a quarter to ten

I saw the strain creep in

He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next

Before his first step, he's off again
