Cave In

Please take a long hard look through your textbook

'Cause I'm history

When I strap my helmet on, I'll be long gone

'Cause I've been dying to leave

Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change

In my bedroom

'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turnpike

Always takes its toll on me

I've had just about enough of, quote

"Diamonds in the rough"

Because my backbone is paper thin

Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining

Because I've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining

(Though I'm always undermining too deep to know)

Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop

'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen

The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane

Mixed with stale gasoline

I'll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground

I'll get ten minutes give or take

'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy

When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in

'Cause if my thoughts collapse or mind framework snaps

It'll make a mess

Like you wouldn't believe

Tie my handle bars to the stars so I stay on track

And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away

Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back

I won't even look back
