Past Recedes

And then the past recedes and I won't be involved The effort to be free Seems pointless from above You're looking down at me I'd rather stay below Than have you staring up at me It is nowhere I want to go Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive Why to be here you first got to die so I gave it a try And what do you know Time was so long ago And things come back you see To where they don't belong and every drop of sea is the hole ocean I lied to the greatest thieves about anything and everything I'm a figure of forgotten speech I'm out of reach I can't play it safe But I'm might just in case I'm disguised as a reaching hand I'm a working man I don't understand why clockout come so slow everytime That's one line I stay right behind
