Pearl Jam Lyrics
Off He Goes
One, two, one, two
Know a man, his face seem pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much to fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taking for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfect holy unkept hope
There he goes
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken, where I don't know
Off he goes with his perfect holy unkept hope
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
And now he's home and we're laughing
Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna to happen next
Before his first step, he is off again
