lyrics
THE HUMAN RACE
Come out of that song,
off of that stage,
show me your checkered face
soft and sweet concealed
behind the bangs
for bucks and guns
no one should have
to win the human race,
the human race.
Take off your town hall,
unwrap your flag,
I know your real name.
You act like you own the place.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be,
but you can't tell time what time already knows.
My heart is not as light as it used to be, not quite.
Think of what you're saying,
take a deep breath,
and a good long look into your blues.
Take off your black dress,
I know the real you.
My hands are not as steady as they used to be,
but you can't tell time what time already knows.
Spirit is not as free as it used to be. So close.
Wake up from that dream,
your kitty litter cloud.
Where is all your high hope now?
I have been to, I have seen your home town,
though my eyes are not as good as they used to be,
but I have seen between the seams of so it seems,
but you can't tell time what time already knows.
My love is not as true as it used to be,
that's all she wrote.
Rolling soul behind her
in a bag dragging down river street.
Tonight it seems so much longer than it used to be seem.
None of this turned out the way it was supposed to.
None of it.
Not any of it.
But it's been a wild, wild ride.
It's been a wild, wild ride
It's been a wild, wild ride
