Jandek - It Seems Forever lyrics

rate me

You see me walking

I go here and there

You hear me talking

I say this and that

But it's the front side

You don't know the back

I play the game

But I don't keep score

I can't win or lose

It's just marking time

I told my maker

I'd live real good

Just take away the pain

I'll start breathing again

And as I continue

I'll try to do it right

I won't hurt nobody

Not even myself

I'll hold out a light

Let it shine for you

If nobody sees it

I still do what I do

I tried to be happy

What a foolish thing

The gems of the universe

Don't care about that

You've got your position

Just play your part

You see me walking

You hear me talking

The sun and the moon keep rolling around

There's nothing but a pathway

Follow your footsteps

Demonstrate your front side

Don't even think about the back

You don't want to be there

The pain is what you lack
