Telescope - Cage The Elephant
In a far and distant galaxy Inside my telescope I see A pair of eyes peer back at me He walks and talks and looks like me Sits around inside his house From room to room he moves about Fills his life with pointless things And wonders how it all turns out Do do do do do Do do do do do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well-spent Or time I've wasted Don't waste it Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing He battens all the hatches down And wonders why he hears no sound Frantically searching his dreams He wonders what it's all about Do do do do do Do do do do do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well-spent Or time I've wasted Clearing my mind Losing my friends Follow my fears Do it again You say how do you do Man how 'bout you? Man how 'bout you? To be free To be son To be killed To be saved In my head I'm alone I'm un-dead I'm ashamed Just like you I've been tryin' to escape In my bones I feel cold I give thanks to the Lord In the sea In this street Let me go Let me be I don't need to be here I'm alone Can't you see? Can't you see? I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well-spent Or time I've wasted Don't waste it
