lyrics

'76 I crossed the line
It was December and the water felt fine
And a friend helped me up
To mark the occasion

Killed the past
Spied a future
Smoked out pipes and applied loves suture
To the youthful skin on our drums
That beat like crazy

I spent a long time sitting by the side of that road
Watching the world pass by me
A complete itinerary is so very necessary
When you're changing the road that you're on

I'm gonna buy me a ticket to Los Angeles
I hear they got a Chinese Theatre
Want to spend some time with those famous hands and feet
Go walkin' on the Hollywood Boulevarde
Find me a tattoo parlour
And carve the initials of a person that I've always loved
Right above my heart

Years passed and I wandered
Through the valley of an era I squandered
Think I answered that question wrong
Can I have it over

Too bound by convention
Too young to know of lifes greatest invention
So I walked down the road well travelled
And left it behind me

I keep a sharp weather eye on the vessels going by
Hoping my light don't fade away
But the warning that I'm giving
Is there ain't no point in living
If it's only a lie anyway

I'm gonna buy me a ticket to New York City
I want to see the island in snow
Want to hear their stories repeated blow by blow
Gonna stand below the Brooklyn Bridge
And catch a silhouette of the moment
And sign in the corner of a portrait that I wished was real
That's how I feel
That's how I feel...
