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

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...
