give my best to thosei I care for

with firends a simple nod will do

I bow to those who've come and gone before me

a handshake to the past

it gets me through

been a little bit good and a little bit sad

let the dirt and dust fall where it may



a distant thunder and it takes my breath away

tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky

pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears

a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears

oh cover my tears



measured distance through the heartbeats

measured time holds all my beliefs

these shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with

a scattered mind from a reckless youth

I cover my ears, I cover my eyes

still all the fears, still heard the lies



a distant thunder and it takes my breath away

tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky

pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears

a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears

oh cover my tears



took convention for a rough ride

a genius under glass set adrift

direction all but fading

like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance

the rivers I cross the memories I keep

a minute to smile, forever to weep



a distant thunder and it takes my breath away

tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky

pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears

a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears

oh cover my tears



a distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under

tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky

of all those times that I've turned and looked away

a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears

oh cover my tears
