Axis Askew

Pull another card and stack it in place Now I’m seeing all the things I wanted to face The pieces look good but the place isn’t right Like a beetle in the bonnet of a honeyman’s wife I move it up To cut it down I raise it up To blow it down Terminal speed as I jump on the train Life’s a runaway trial on an abstract plane The engine looks good but it’s running at night No one up front someone put out the light I move it up To turn it down I raise it up To pull it down, pull it down Looks and feels like I’ll never know The places I’ll go Who can tell you? No one really knows A 1 or an 0, yeah Can’t say no And that’s the way it will go Cables get cut and I’m drifting away Always stumbling toward what I wanted to say Direction looks good but the axis is skewed I always end up at the angle I didn’t intend to Looks and feels like I’ll never know The places I’ll go Who can tell you? No one really knows A 1 or an 0, yeah Can’t say no And that’s the way it will go
