[Verse 1 : Slug]
2
It was a purple-purple sky and an orange-orange moon
3
And everyone was whistling the same damn tune
4
Except Brian, Brian staired out across the field
5
And watch the horizon blossom to cop a field
6
Over the edge of the world
7
The one they're all afraid to walk
8
Ration out the why they're so high on the small talk
9
But Brian knows where the crows all go
10
To find the if's, and the and's and the but's and also's
11
Chorus:
12
If I could run through the woods, and speed like the light
13
I?d find the answers to why, and be back by tonight
14
If I could fly through the fog and look at this rock
15
I?d figure out how to keep Hell off of my block
16
But as it stands, I stay content
17
Tryin? to be the magic man, and pay my rent
18
Wishing that Brian would turn me on to the secrets he sought
19
While we keep burning the dawn, just to keep the day hot
20
[Verse 2 : Slug]
21
If I could ask you one question, I?d ask where you went
22
You could teach me a lesson every time I got bent
23
But the alcohol don't make me forget about it all
24
doesn't matter the season the leaves can still fall
25
They slipped hidden messages within the cards that were dealt
26
I understand myself and all of the sorrow I felt
27
For as simple as I'am how'd it get so complex
28
Got me studying the margins and disregarding the text
29
I open the curtins and listen to the traffic go
30
But I still get nervous each time my peace passes go
31
The residue is thick and the memory fails
32
I still laugh 'cause the path feels a lot like a trail
33
Chorus:
34
If I could run through the woods, and speed like the light
35
I?d find the answers to why, and be back by tonight
36
If I could fly through the fog and look at this rock
37
I?d figure out how to keep Hell off of my block
38
But as it stands, I stay content
39
Tryin? to be the magic man, and pay my rent
40
Wishing that Brian would turn me on to the secrets he sought
41
While we keep burning the dawn, just to keep the day hot
42
[Verse 3 : Slug]
43
We used to be a couple of pimps walking the hallways with pride
44
Drunk or sober, life was nothing short of rollercoaster rides
45
Trip to the clubs, now the skull to the rhythm
46
All we wanted out of life was what was given
47
And when you passed I wanted to take back the time we wasted
48
I'd trade all the buzzes in for one more conversation
49
We can sit in the shade and discuss the meaning of sacred
50
Cause I can't see the garden no more, just the avens
51
But the wind still blows and the plains still grow
52
And I wish your name was on the guest list at my shows
53
I got to believe you can see me run up on my freedom
54
Cause you got to meet up with the son before you got to meet my son
55
Bridge (x2):
56
And when I see lightning, feels like my buzz is heightning
57
Everytime I feel the sun, I can smell the love
58
And when I smell the air I can hear a child trying
59
But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying
