One-Track Mind Songtext
von Anthony Savino

Did it with a formula, did it with a plan
Followed intuition, fallen in the sand
Practiced under pressure, killed the lights at dawn
Sat through empty lectures, ran through private lawns

I got a one-track mind and tunnel vision
Nothing gonna change that now
When I′m given a wayward mission
I just wanna turn around
Set my watch to a glacial patience
Get in line for the atmosphere
I know I told you I don't mind waiting
But I gotta get outta here

And chart some nonsense with fairweather friends
March in time with a sea of students until I′m young again
Raise my voice in a dancing choir
Burn my words in a backyard fire
Curse the man in a crowd of hippies
Pack the van and trip the light through static


I got a one-track mind and tunnel vision
Nothing gonna change that now
When I'm given a wayward mission
I just wanna turn around
Set my watch to a glacial patience
Hold the line until the signal's clear
I know I told you I don′t mind waiting
But I gotta get outta here

Feel like waving a banner off the overpass
When′s the off-ramp, where's that laughing gas
I just wanted to talk shop, brass tacks and special ops
I got away from the vipers
But it feels like there′s something on my back

I got a one-track mind and tunnel vision
Nothing gonna change that now
When I'm given a wayward mission
I just wanna turn around
I can summon a glacial patience
Scan the room while I hold your beer
I know I told you I don′t mind waiting
But I gotta get outta here
