Please take a long hard
look through your textbook
'cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on
I'll be long gone
'cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah I'll ride the range
and hide all my loose change
in my bedroom
'Cause riding a dirt bike
down a turnpike
always takes it's toll
on me
I've had just about enough
of quote diamonds in the rough
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
or I'll cave in
If the bombs go off
the sun will still be shining
Because we've heard it said
that every mushroom cloud
has a silver lining
Though I'm always undermining
too deep to know
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'cause the road tastes like wintergreen
Wind and the rain smell
of oil and octane mixed with
stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound
try to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't
foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity
keeps me wide awake
Get me out of this cavern
or I'll cave in
Get me out of this cavern
or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on
just in case my head caves in
'Cause in my thoughts collapse
or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you
wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars
so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray
I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave
and I won't even look back
I won't even look back
