lyrics

I am lost, who's got the map, which way is north?
How the hell did I get so off course?
I had it all plotted out but now things have gone south
Like a drug cartel dismemberment
A serious pain in the neck

I was a child and I had a home
God damn if that ain't a long time ago
Oh to hold onto a place, plant your heels in time and space
But life is such a series of vector
Motion plus direction

And the stars, well, they aren't any help
Can't blame 'em, they got so many atoms to weld
They just float there and glimmer and slowly grow dimmer
As the sky turns from torchlight to tar
'Cause we're all just drifting apart

SOS, clasp my hands, paging god
But he's busy with the priest, TV preachers, and frauds
Whose silver tongues wag while they pass round a bag
For you to throw in what you own
What are you supposed to do if your broke?
It's a good thing I can laugh at my own jokes
'Cause I better get used to being alone
