Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An open road where I can breathe
Where the lowest low is calling to me
I can pull myself back up, back down
Stuck together like a readymade
And nobody knows where we been
Cancelled rations are running thin
Watches tick out of tune
Falling apart like a readymade
[Verse 2]
My bags are waiting in the next life
[Verse 3]
Rubbish piles fresh and plain
Empty boxes in a pawn shop brain
License plates stowaway
Standing in line like a readymade
[Verse 4]
And my bags are waiting in the next life
[Verse 5]
An open road where I can breathe
Where the lowest low is calling to me
I can pull myself back up, back down
Stuck together like a readymade
[Verse 6]
And my bags are waiting in the next life
Written by: Beck, Beck Hansen, John King, Mike Simpson
