Charles, Really! -

The rain water washes, but the car oil clings

My breaks won’t last for long, the radiator steams

Still I’m going down the 405 just so I can play

With a bell that thinks its broken;

Rings out just the same

She’d leave me chasing fumes, but I can fall as fast as she

See the sparks flying off as we reach terminal velocity

And it’s back to where I started, but not where I began

I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand

You’d better pull that skull cap tight

You’ll find it necessary

Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried

Our feet won’t touch the ground as we scream

«New Orleans or bust!»

You know I’m a blur to all the dreamers

And every Jack-in-the-dust

We’ll pull your mainyards up

Tie your inhibitions down

We’ll shake a reef from your sails

Shake a leg all over town

I know I’m scared of dying, but am I scared of living, too?

The way we push each other I think I’m mostly scared of you

Because it’s back to where I started, but not where I began

I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand

You’d better pull that skull cap tight

You’ll find it necessary

Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried

This long black road in front of me

This big blue sky pressing down

Everyone says we’re going to make it so

If we can’t hack it, we’re just gonna have to fake it

Because it’s back to where I started, but not where I began

I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand

You’d better pull that skull cap tight

You’ll find it necessary

Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried
