There is a girl down in Denver, hanging out in the parking lot.And she's worried about my gig much more than I'll ever be. It's a shame she don't get it, she can't get down to my level. It's a shame your radio, it's a shame your MTV. There is a kid, Zephyr Texas, rides life like a prize bull. He's been thrown off a time or two but he always lands on his feet. Now he's somewhere down in Florida, listening to Bob Marley. There were days when we were totting sand that I swore he had it all figured out.Are we, on some downward turn of an evolutionary crash and burn. Falling straight from the sky in a bed that we sinned in. Mean mister gravity, always seems to have his hands on me. Falling straight from the sky in a bed that we sinned in.Fifteen minute, attention span. Fifteen minute, attention span. Balanced on the high wire ain't this here life a circus show. Balanced on the high wire ain't no safety net down below, so don?t look down.Thirty minute, attention span. Thirty minute, attention span. Well they wrapped us in a package and they sent us on down the line. And we thought there for a moment that everything would work out fine. It's a shame how they got me in that box I'm in. It's a shame how I'll die there, it's a shame how I live.
