Extraordinary Machine |
I certainly haven’t been shopping for any new shoes |
-And- |
I certainly haven’t been spreading myself around |
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it’s a slow climb, |
But I’m good at being uncomfortable, so |
I can’t stop changing all the time |
I notice that my opponent is always on the go |
-And- |
Won’t go slow, so’s not to focus, and I notice |
He’ll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as |
They go fast from whence he came |
— But he’s no good at being uncomfortable, so |
He can’t stop staying exactly the same |
If there was a better way to go then it would find me |
I can’t help it, the road just rolls out behind me |
Be kind to me, or treat me mean |
I’ll make the most of it, I’m an extraordinary machine |
I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day |
You deem me due to clean my view and be at piece and lay |
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say, |
I’ve been getting along for long before you came into the play |
I am the baby of the family, it happens, so |
— Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes |
While they chaperone |
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease |
— Courteous, to try and help — but let me set your |
Mind at ease |
-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side? |
-It's very kind |
But it’s to no avail; |
I don’t want the bail |
I promise you, everything will be just fine |
If there was a better way to go then it would find me |
I can’t help it, the road just rolls out behind me |
Be kind to me, or treat me mean |
I’ll make the most of it, I’m an extraordinary machine |
