Lyrics - "Around The Sun" by John Michael Sudol
Lyrics – “Around The Sun” written in New York City, September, 2001
Waiting on a line
Always doing time
Ain’t no peace of mind
Dream of things you’ll never have
Looking for a sign
Sun don’t wanna shine
Everybody’s blind
What a shame it’s just too bad
Acting like a fool
Really isn’t cool
What ya’ gonna do?
Yeah it’s you and it’s just so sad
Don’t look in the eyes
On the face of the liar
Behind the glass
Fall out of the sky
And try not to die
For the ones you’ve passed
Pay for what you shove up your nose
She’s the kind that says anything goes
Where you’re gonna drive there’s no road
Hit the switch and let it explode
Ridin’ hard down below
Just how far ya’ gonna go?
Lay your heart across the track
One trip ‘round the sun and back
Steppin’ on a crack
Smoke another pack
Ain’t no turnin’ back
They’re long gone now
Livin’ in your sleep
Water’s way too deep
Take what you can keep
Close your eyes and let it flow
Hey you’re just in time
Do a righteous crime
Washin’ off the slime
Fallen angels in the snow
Stare into the mirror
At the face of the driver
Who wants to crash
Snap off the key
Smile for the camera
The deal’s all flash
Is it you they think that they know?
Fuck ‘em all if they don’t get the joke
What is it you want them to see?
Yeah that’s you motherfucker not me
Ridin’ hard down below
Just how far you gonna go?
Lay your heart across the track
One trip ‘round the sun and back
Ridin’ hard down below
The harder you ride the faster you go
Whip your horse and paint it black
One trip ‘round the sun and back
