There's a map of the world
on the wall in your room
Green pins where ya wanna go

White pins where ya been
there isn't even ten,
you're already feeling old

Pretty faces stare back
from a magazine stack
that you read when

you're feeling bored
Look through a telescope lens
it doesn't make sense

you think you've been there before

Some far off feelings

Some up close kind of ache
White screen reason to
look the other way


There's a place by the lake
that you go when it's late

it was summer and the crowds were gone
and you sit all alone with
With your thoughts, gettin' stoned

just waitin' for some peace to come

Like the thing thatcha

tried that you thought that you liked
for a minute then it all felt wrong
So your changing again

All your clothes, all your friends
It's the same as it ever was


That far off feeling
That up close kind of ache
Some white screen reason to

look the other way

It's a road that you've paved

over Indian graves and
you wonder why your dreams are crazed
So you cling to your wife,

your kids, and you life
There's nothing that you're gonna save
Put the razor to your face,

Hot water for a shave
Kill the shadow of yesterday
Clean shirt, clean pants,

clean slate second chance
You're going by another name


Some far off feeling
Some up close kind of ache
That instant karma

That always comes too late
