Soma

Soma is what they would take when

Hard times opened their eyes

Saw pain in a new way

High stakes for a few names

Racing against sunbeams

Losing against fig trees

In your eyes

And I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes

See, I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes

Let's go

When I saw her for the first time

Lips moved as her eyes closed

Heard something in his voice

"And I'll be there", he says

Then he walks out

Somehow, he was trying

Too hard to be like them

And I am

Stop

And go

In your eyes

And I am

Stop

Oh, darling, let me go

Tried it once and they liked it

Then tried to hide it

Says, "I've been doing this twenty-five years"

But I'm not listening no more

And these friends, they keep asking for more

Oh, yeah

Oh, but that's it
