Off He Goes — текст песни (Pearl Jam)

1 2 1 2 3 4...
Know a man...his face seemed pulled and tense...
Like he`s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds...
So I approach with tact...suggest that he should relax...
But he`s always movin` much too fast...
Said he`ll see me on the flipside
On this trip he`s taken for a ride
He`s been takin` too much on...
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes...
He`s yet to come back...but I`ve seen his picture...
It doesn`t look the same up on the racks...
We go way back...
I wonder `bout his insides...
It`s like his thoughts are too big for his size...
He`s been taken...where, I don`t know?
Off 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 should have been burned...
For he still smiles...and he`s still strong...
Nothing`s changed, but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown...
And now he`s home, and we`re 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 gonna happen next...
Before his first step...he is off again...
