lyrics

How long is forever man. will I ever breathe again. The sun’s been down for days now I’ve lost count of them. I can’t feel my feet today. But I welcome this price I pay. The things I used to want I’ve grown to need. If I ever see the man I’ll bow my little head. How I suffer while the masses seem at ease. If I ever see the man I’ll know my journey’s end. Just hope I push myself to make it by the eve. You’d call me a runaway. I’m just on a holiday. Couldn’t stand the sight of those four walls anymore. I used to sit there quarantined. On bad terms that floor and me. I’ve said it was as far as I could see. Come on. If I ever see the man. I’ll do the best I can. Think its hilarious he’s not expecting me. Will I ever greet the man. Can’t believe his massive plan. On a scale from one to ten, well you know what I mean. I mean C’mon. Yesterday I made up my mind. Won’t let the distance keep me waiting for the moment I arrive. For heaven’s sake the road’s nearly in sight. After all the man has blessed me with the willingness to try. This gift I am thankful for. Should I be expecting more? I’ll cut out the middle man who happens to be...The Man. If I ever see the man I’ll say I’m here to stand up for those of us who totally believe. If I ever see the man I’ll finally get the chance to see a side of him they don’t show on TV. What’s today have I just lost my mind? I see pictures in the sky I feel fidgety inside. For heaven’s sake I’m about to cry.After all the man has blessed me with I’m barely getting by. If I ever see the man He’ll know I understand that everything he gave me didn’t come for free. If I ever see the manI’ll shake his fuckin’ hand. It’s unbelievable how he can reach those speeds. When I finally meet the man I’ll probably see him and wonder how he’s lived this long judging by what he eats.
