Once I heard a man, talkin' mostly to himself

tellin' tales he'd heard around the world

He said, "Son you'll see your big time, and you'll fight your boxing

match,

and there's always gonna be that fish that you didn't catch.."

However far your ventures lead you

however far your fences stretch

There's something that keeps callin' you back

No matter how much it decides you, it's something deep inside of you

Somethin' beggin' to be cut some slack..



{chorus}



It seems I go, where I don't expect

should I have made a right when I made a left?

It seems I go, where I must perfect

a bigger system, that's got a bigger defect..



They're displaced revolutionaries and a captive audience

They have seen what's never been done before

If there are castle dragons they can't respect to the least degree

then they'll find it forced upon them more and more

I've seen them wanderin' on the road, they're dreamin' of somewhere else

from the old school they've learned to hate their ways

Living future memories, the best that they can crawl

and hating everybodies latest craze..



From the most crazy aspirations come the most noble philosophies

but see which one will get you anywhere

The shadow prince you walk behind, has lost his crowning jewel

and now it's you alone just standing there..
