Jandek It Seems Forever
You see me walking
I go here and there
You hear me talking
I say this and that
But it's the front side
You don't know the back
I play the game
But I don't keep score
I can't win or lose
It's just marking time
I told my maker
I'd live real good
Just take away the pain
I'll start breathing again
And as I continue
I'll try to do it right
I won't hurt nobody
Not even myself
I'll hold out a light
Let it shine for you
If nobody sees it
I still do what I do
I tried to be happy
What a foolish thing
The gems of the universe
Don't care about that
You've got your position
Just play your part
You see me walking
You hear me talking
The sun and the moon keep rolling around
There's nothing but a pathway
Follow your footsteps
Demonstrate your front side
Don't even think about the back
You don't want to be there
The pain is what you lack
