It's in the air I breathe
I've considered almost every single angle
But the chemistry
Dictates terms
Now on the contrary
It's not as simple as suggesting is compliant
That's a fantasy
At least in my case
I was flat out of wisdom
You were asking too much of man
I was long gone by then
Off my head
Off my head
Another memory
Gone missing in the glistening that gave it to you
Piece by piece
In the first place
I guess I must concede
I always thought that it was somewhere in the middle
But the words I needed
Weren't even on the page
It was there for the taking
I was so close to everything
I was long gone by then
Off my head
I was flat out of wisdom
You were asking too much of man
I was long gone by then
Off my head
It was there for the taking
I'm prepared now for anything
I was long gone my friend
Off my head
