Step up, but stay in line
I'm taking orders here just one at a time
You want me to make change, looking for a sign
But all I got right here are some quarters and dimes
What's unusual is how delusional became the mainstream
Confusing folk who choosing jokes to stay inside their daydreams
They broke, they choked
They know the world is trying to coax them
Out there on their own
When what they really need's some coaching
We're all broken
But we're also the mechanic
So don't panic
Even if you think they planned it
Or you can't stand it
Cause you gotta stand for something
Cause living for any purpose is better than for nothing
I've been on my own, on a new way
Picking up the phone to hear what you say
You say the human race is a good race
And at the finish line is a good place
I been on my own on a new way
Calling on the phone to hear what you say
You say the human race is a good race
And at the finish line is a good place
Ride of your life, it's the high of a kite
Whose journey is limited by the source of the flight
Wish I may, wish I might
Wish I had the courage just to get through the night
Whether it's xan or can
There's a chance this man might can it
Or turn this thing around like a planet
Think I need to call Janet
Cause I need a good place
A place where I can get my head back into good grace
A good grace
Or at least one to hold over
The gold clover
Hot-headed and cold-shouldered
Friendships I've vetted, regretted, Scully and Mulder
Fully invested and bully-chested
Now that I'm older
A tree gon' branch out
Meanin' more leaves and sunshine
The trust part is knowin'
No matter what it gon' be fine
Cause you fine
Both spiny and soft, just like a porcupine
But you're mine
And I'm yours,
Ain't no concubine
If we combine
Our forces greater, possibly divine
By design, I'm decidin' we gon' redefine
First love yourself, then love the else
The rest will come in phases
Like lunar cycles,
You're insight will wax and wane through ages
Be courageous, your position's advantageous
Albeit outrageous, bettin' on yourself is safest
Even if you got nobody,
The world is where your place is
And you've got the rest of time to decide what your fate is
I've been on my own, on a new way
Picking up the phone to hear what you say
You say the human race is a good race
And at the finish line is a good place
I been on my own on a new way
Calling on the phone to hear what you say
You say the human race is a good race
And at the finish line is a good place
Ride of your life, it's the high of a kite
Whose journey is limited by the source of the flight
Wish I may, wish I might
Wish I had the courage just to get through the night
Whether it's xan or can
There's a chance this man might can it
Or turn this thing around like a planet
Think I need to call Janet
Cause I need a good place
A place where I can get my head back into good grace
