Things are going on behind me, great things
On the shoulders of nothing
Oh, these things are going on beneath me
But I, I just keep walking on, my friend
I don't need no wake-up call
Can't read the writing on the walls
And this world is tilting
With things I always knew were there
But never got to reach that high
Above, the day turns pink
The change inside my pockets clinks
Never enough to get that far
Just me and my burnt out guitar, my friend
There's no one I can blame but me
I wonder why my itching skin
Won't open up to let you in
And this world is tilting
With things I always knew were there
But never got to reach that high
I know that I'll look back and say,
"Why did I piss it all away?"
But if I fall, just let me fall
And this world is tilting
With things I always knew were there
But never got to reach that high
