Old Man Markley Train Of Thought
Well you've gotta slow down
Because you're moving too fast
How're you gonna find the time to make any of this last?
Rushing through the days
To get to the nights
Is this really how you want to live your life?
Doing 99 in a 35
Passing by all the sights and signs
Keep on running reds
Yeah, you'll never learn
Overshoot the scenic route and miss your turn
And you're following a train of thought
Burning up the world at hand
Denying that you're feeling lost
Thinking no one understands
Arguing 'til you turn blue
Blind to what's in front of you
Answers far between and few
Limiting what you can do
Skimming every page won't help ease your mind
You don't dialogue, just wait to say your line
Think the world's a stage, yeah you may be right
But when the show goes on who will you be tonight?
Can you make some room for a breath or two?
Need to clear the air before somebody chokes on you
Well you've gotta slow down
Because you're moving too fast
How're you gonna find the time to make any of this last?
And you're following a train of thought
Burning up the world at hand
Denying that you're feeling lost
Thinking no one understands
Arguing til you turn blue
Blind to what's in front of you
Answers far between and few
And pretty soon the path you choose starts choosing you
