To left of me a striped fence
To me, this all does not make sense
What's two, when all you need is one?
Who's to blame for the empty gun?
If all tears from the sky
Why do they fall from your eyes?
Leave a sparkle that's you see in dreams
What's to come when the grass don't turn green

It's runnin' fast
It cannot slow
Sit and wonderin' where I'll go
Drift in head and lazy eyes
Hold me mama, as I learn to fly
On my own

And if it tastes too good
It could be a lie
You ain't the apple of your mama's eye
Who needs a moon for a light
Flip the switch and we're back to life
Now what's in the air
Who's on the street?
And who's the pretty girl glaring at me?
Why's the sun shinin' off her hair?
Why now do I seem to care?

It's runnin' fast
It cannot slow
Sit and wonderin' where I'll go
Drift in head and lazy eyes
Hold me mama as I learn to fly
On my own

Now shake a left or take a right
Hope that there's no one in sight
Do shadows really dance and gleam
They all look pretty damn dark to me
And at times the only thing I'd say we're in
While we fightin' 'til the bitter end
Cashin' in everything we know
Does dying rich determine where we go?

It's runnin' fast
It cannot slow
Sit and wonderin' where I'll go
Drift in head and lazy eyes
Hold me mama as I learn to fly

It's runnin' fast
It cannot slow
Sit and wonderin' where I'll go
Drift in head and lazy eyes
Hold me mama as I learn to fly
On my own
On my own
Darling, on my own
Darling, on my own, yeah
