PEARL JAM - Off He Goes lyrics
rate me1, 2, 1, 2, 3...<br>Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense<br>Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds<br>So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax<br>But he's always moving much too fast<br>Said he'll see me on the flipside<br>On this trip he's taken for a ride<br>He's been taking too much on ...<br>There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes<br>There he goes...<br><br>He's yet to come back, but I see his picture<br>Doesn't look the same up on the rack<br>We go way back<br><br>I wonder about his insides<br>It's like his thoughts are too big for his size<br>He's been taken, where, I don't know? <br>Off he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes<br>And there he goes...<br><br>And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned!<br>Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned<br>For he still smiles, and he's still strong<br>Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit<br>That has grown<br><br>And now he's home, and we're laughing like we always did<br>My same old, same old friend<br>Until a quarter-to-ten<br><br>I saw the strain creep in<br>He seemed distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next<br>Before his first step, he's off again
