The Distance Songtext
von Iron Eyes Cody

Bloodstains
On fake pictures
And it comes in waves
As the shouts turn into whispers
Thoughts keep running through her brain
Make the pounding in her heart be quicker
Says it all comes down to the run around
And as the book slips in her fingers

Says I don′t really think the drugs they've got can
Pull it off
So I′m gonna sell my blood
To a man I met in Simon's rock
He's got a plan
To put me in a diamond top
And make a grand plain geriatric clam nostalgia rock


Shake into the car
Breaks in the door
Makes out 25 layin′ on the floor
All prayin′ to the lord
But the prayin's ignored
Sayin′ that they shoulda been prayin' before any war
Awoke that night to the rains, the nuclear warnin′

And she said
Oh my souls gotten cold and lost
And I'm throwin′ it off

Oh won't you go make the most of a bad existence
Cause you're so
Much colder than she ever planned to live with

She says
Everybody knows the difference
Between right to try
And life and lies
And if you
Go the distance
Go the distance

I fall behind


18
With a sex addiction
And he states his dreams
And readin′ online erotica fiction
And counts the places he ain′t been
About relationships envisioned
Tabs tomorrow nights been a long time coming
If they'd have only listened

Shakin′ in the night
Wakes and he writes
25 ways you could waste your life
Says he takes what he likes
Breaks with the line(?)
Makes for Boston with his fate decided
Says he prays that every thought's been pre-assigned to him

Causes its planned in and
Oh my souls gotten cold and lost
And I′m throwin' it off

Oh won′t you go make the most of a bad existence
Cause you're so
Much colder than she ever planned to live with

And she says
Everybody's got commitments
Between right to try
And life and lives
And if you
Go the distance
Go the distance

I′ll fall behind
I fall behind
