There he goes again walking up to Seventeenth
An itch he scratches with fingers at his teeth
Putting up his money, but his mouth is getting weak
From biting off and trying to chew on all eternity
Ohhh that's what he chose
Ohhh it's what he chose
Hiding from his panic in a corner by a chair
He's sweating and wishing he was anywhere but there
Getting up, getting off, on someone else's dime
But company's a scarcity when you're living in the sky
Like ohhh that's how it goes
Ohhh chasing your ghost
But you see that fate
She's got him good
And he wants her
More than he should
You can't find him
And nobody can
'Cause he's lost, lost, he's lost inside his head
Championing poison like badges made of bones
Sacrifice lucidity at the alter of the stoned
You've got dead eyes
One saving grace: the world keeps you around
They say it's just a phase
Like ohhh that's how it goes
Ohhh chasing your ghost
But you see that fate
She's got him good
And he wants her
More than he should
You can't find him
And nobody can
'Cause he's lost, lost, he's lost inside his head
Oh he's lost
Oh yeah he's lost
Ohh he's lost inside his head
Ooooo
Ooooo
