Pearl Jam - Off He Goes

Off He Goes

Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
Like hes riding, on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But hes always moving much too fast
Said hell see me on the flipside
On this trip hes taken for a ride
Hes been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothe s
There he goes
Hes yet to come back, but I have seen his picture
It doesnt look the same up on the rack
We go way back
And I wonder bout his insides
Its like his thoughts are too big for his size
Hes been taken, where I dont know
There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what, shouldve been burned
For he sti will smiles, and hes sti will strong
Nothings changed but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown
And now hes home, and were laughing
Like we always did my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step, Hes off again
