[Verse]
The rain water washes, but the car oil clings
My breaks won't last for long, the radiator steams
Still I'm going down the 405 just so I can play
With a bell that thinks its broken;
Rings out just the same
She'd leave me chasing fumes, but I can fall as fast as she
See the sparks flying off as we reach terminal velocity
[Chorus]
And it's back to where I started, but not where I began
I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand
You'd better pull that skull cap tight
You'll find it necessary
Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried
[Verse}
Our feet won't touch the ground as we scream
"New Orleans or bust!"
You know I'm a blur to all the dreamers
And every Jack-in-the-dust
We'll pull your mainyards up
Tie your inhibitions down
We'll shake a reef from your sails
Shake a leg all over town
I know I'm scared of dying, but am I scared of living, too?
The way we push each other I think I'm mostly scared of you
[Chorus]
Because it's back to where I started, but not where I began
I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand
You'd better pull that skull cap tight
You'll find it necessary
Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried
[Bridge]
This long black road in front of me
This big blue sky pressing down
Everyone says we're going to make it so
If we can't hack it, we're just gonna have to fake it
[Chorus]
Because it's back to where I started, but not where I began
I feel something grabbing on when I hold out my hand
You'd better pull that skull cap tight
You'll find it necessary
Wherever we fall, There shall we be buried
