A Long Way Off

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...
