Fiver Dayton Lyrics Fiver lyrics

You know I worked a very fast life
Struggling for something much greater than I
Turning my thoughts, picking up lots,
And scrubbing with solvents while breathing them in.
My body's work, it did not meet with my mind's,
It did not meet with my passions but it sure took my time.
And I hoped for the best, I could see better coming,
Like a turn on the map of the road I was riding.
The way things go, you never know what comes behind you.
There's something going down I can't explain.
If it's real, why can't I shake it?
Must i wait for dawn to ditch me on the fireside of sane?
When I broke out from Dayton, I did not know what to do next.
So sick from being a rat tail hanging off the wrong man's neck.
And you know retaliation, shooting from a bow that's badly bent,
Made for marks I did not tell you of, for they were never really meant.

The way things go, you never know what comes behind you.
Don't think that I don't share the same complaint.
If it's real, why can't I shake it?
Must I wait for dawn to ditch me on the fireside of sane.
I been thinking again about the men in the mailroom,
How they gone postal from somebody else's meaning.
About the weight of the words, how they quickly traverse
From the mind through the pen to the lover then the doctor now the copper,
where's the friend?
The way things go, you never know what comes behind you.
I've half a mind to rag on the weather vane.
If it's real, why can't I shake it?
Must I wait for dawn to ditch me on the fireside of sane?
