Tail Of The Sun Lyrics

Stroke 9

This is the summer thatll never come
Its like someones holding on to the tail of the sun
I wanna waste time and walk the line
From my best routine to where Im feeling alright
I cant hold out, I dont care about offending
The worlds descending....
I know its way to short, it rarely lasts too long
Im just finding the floor, but when I look down, its gone
This is the way it should always be
Ive never had the propensity to work, breed and die
I prefer to spend mine on the fly
The be-ers got to be and the flee-ers got to flee
But as for me, well....dont worry about me
I know its way to short, it rarely lasts too long
Im just finding the floor, but when I look down, its gone
I know its way to short, it rarely lasts too long
Im just finding the door, but when I turn around
When I turn around, its gone
It seems like today Im looking back
Well maybe tomorrow Ill see further
Than my little head allows me to
Ill be cruising then Ill crack
Oh something better happen to these feelings
That Im going through
