3000 Miles-Ellis Paul

It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end I flew to the nearest escape I ran from the land of rape I jumped in the kranked up pit I skuttled over snakes and bacon bits I slipped on the peel of misfortune I stumbled while tryin' to recover a fumble I scraped up the flattened and started again I leaped from within without a spring or a spin We be cyclin' in a cyclic way It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end I sauntered onto a thinly paved scalp I staggered from a glass of stout I took a loan I could not afford I launched up hi the halo in the sky I come up from beneath and remove the confining sheath I slithered with stealth and snuck past the infection I lurched forward in one solid direction I stood alone Because I had to survive we recycle in a cyclic way It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end It all kept startin' over again With a different beginning and a different end Like a snotty nose spoilyor a booger eatin' bully Scapegoat distraction is to keep from lookin' silly Oh ya alright like a snotMy name is robert wilson I'm from eau claire Wisconsin I've been living out of a Suitcase now for fourteen days I walked the boulevard in hollywood I caught a vegas show that was no good Met a dancer there that starred in a broadway play But it's a lonely world from this greyhound Believe me I've been here fourteen days Three thousand miles I've been here fourteen days Three thousand miles Now twenty one is as good a guess as any age that I'd confess to Let's just say I'm old enough to get away Back in school I found the only written truth On bathroom stalls and telephone booths I studied awhile But college got in my way I've learned much more from the back of this greyhound Believe me I've been here fourteen days Three thousand miles I've come a long Long way Three thousand miles Have you seen The world outside is turning And it's yours We were put here for the learning People talk to themselves on greyhounds Even the driver strains to hear They tell the same forgotten story Will it fall on forgetful ears Down in houston on comes this woman With two kids and a bottle of booze And she cracked them both like match heads Whenever they ventured too close to her fuse And I sat with a girl from boston Playing cards for cigarettes I lost her name with the poker game But her name I will never forget You never forget the view from these windows Believe me I've been here fourteen days Three thousand miles I've come a long Long way Three thousand miles Gly on the inside On the outside lookin' pretty oh ya alright We be cyclin' in a cyclic way maze like this Amazed like this we recycle in a cyclic way Lost in a daze like this we recycle in a cyclic way And it all kept startin' over again And it all kept startin' over again And it all kept startin' over again And it all kept startin' over again
