Past Recedes Lyrics

And then the past recedes and I won't be involved The effort to be free Seems pointless from above You're looking down at me I'd rather stay below Than have you staring up at me It is nowhere I want to go Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive Why to be here you first got to die so I gave it a try And what do you know Time was so long ago And things come back you see [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/past-recedes-lyrics-john-frusciante.html ] To where they don't belong and every drop of sea is the hole ocean I lied to the greatest thieves about anything and everything I'm a figure of forgotten speech I'm out of reach I can't play it safe But I'm might just in case I'm disguised as a reaching hand I'm a working man I don't understand why clockout come so slow everytime That's one line I stay right behind
