Never Home
Lyrics by Big Ugly Jim
I'm never home no more nobody gives a damn,
I guess I finally ran away and joined the circus
Where every day is just another day or something.
Run the rabbit till he staggers on the circuits.
I work so often that I can't remember things
I'm saving money but it all amounts to nothing
Why the hell now why the hell do I even bother
Something inside me wants to live and die for something
The rats are running but the maze is water tight
There never was no cheese and now the air is thinning
The lightest heads are showing us the way to go
The race is over but we still believe we're winning
I guess I always thought that reason showed itself
Just like the rest of us I thought I understood things
But here I am a man who's dirty with success
A man who's never even known what doing good brings
Along the way we drop the fragments of our souls
We give them gladly trade them in for satisfaction
And then we turn around buy everything in sight
To fill the whole we made with shimmering distractions
There is no penance here, there's nothing to perform
There is no ritual my soul will not be risen
I let it slip from me like sand into the storm
And now I work all day here in my little prison
