What I see is what's to be

Cartwheels to eternity

Round and round my head she goes

In the good dreams though she wears no clothes



Took our picture by the sea

The ocean waits to carry me

Carry me back home again

To where she sleeps

I lay my head



Saw her running barefoot

But the ground there never touched her feet.

Lost her in the shadows

While the tide came iin and claimed our beach.

We could've made it in the dunes

We had it all within our reach.

But I've got a lot of life to learn and you've got a lot of life to teach.



Chorus:



Why do we all end up alone

Why do we always have to find our way back home

Why do we all end up alone

We gather no moss, just like a rolling...



What I say is what I mean

No definition in between

Couldn't make it in the movie scene

You couldn't stay on, you couldn't stay clean.

What you wear is who you are

The odds are in and you'll go far.

A penny for your thoughts, you see

A nickel buys you what you need.



Saw you on the big show,

Saw you swinging from the big trapeze.

Standing on my tiptoes

While you brush the dirt from off your knees.

Should've come as no surprise,

No one else here did have your drive.

You got a big white stretch parked right outside

Nobody there to share your ride.



Chorus:



Why do we all end up alone

Why do we always have to find our way back home.

Why do we all end up alone

Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned.



(Guitar)



What I know is what I hear

The ringing in my ears is clear.

A monley's get it made you see

Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree.



Chorus:



Why do we all end up alone

Why do we always have to find our way back home.

Why do we all end up alone

We gather no moss, just like a rolling stone.



Why do we all end up alone

Why do we always have to find our way back home.

Why do we all end up alone

Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned?



Dead, Drunk, or Stoned...

Just like a rolling stone
