I'm a sinner, I'm on the lamb, there ain't no telling what makes a man. I am many things, you understand, and what you think I am it ain't worth a damn ...
I don't remember how I got here, or where I'm coming from, I'm just a making it up as I go. And if you think you got the answers, well you got 'em all wrong. You're a long way from home ...
On an airplane, or in a train, I'm in between the things I can't explain. I got a sports car, it's in my brain, I'm always changing gears it's like a game.
I don't remember how I got here, or where this really is. I guess wherever you go, well there you are. And if you think you've got the tiger by the toes then think again. You're a long way from home.
I'm a stranger in a strange land, I'm an alien, I'm with the band. Common pilgrims, it's like I said, "Well, it ain't paradise, not 'till you're dead".
I don't suppose you know the way from where I was to where I am, it's many lifetimes, maybe nine, or maybe more. And if you think you've found the answers, well you've found them all before. You're a long way from home.
