(Look behind myself?) Do I have to turn around before I can point? (Do I have to turn around before I can point?) I flip into a brief. Original Lyrics: A far away light in the futuristic place we might be,
It's a tiny world just big enough to support the kingdom of one knowledgeable, Throw away the loneliness and head back down I'm going too fast, I'm going too fast ... I plunge right on through the office door, and into the arms of the bottomless negro of love Suddenly I can't remember, how to stop, or turn around Do I have to get behind myself? Do I have to turn around before I can point? I flip 'til I can breathe |
