A Long Way Off - The Slackers

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…
