Map Of The World

There's a map of the world On the wall in your room Green pins where ya wanna to go White pins where ya been There isn't even ten, You're already feeling old Pretty face stair back From a magazine stack That you read when You're feeling bored Look through a telescope lens It doesn't make sense You think you've been there before Some far off feelings Some up close kind of ache White screen reason to Look the other way There's a place by the lake That you go when it's late It was summer and the crowds were gone And you sit all alone with With your thoughts, gettin' stoned Just waitin' for some peace to come Like the thing that'cha Tried that you thought you liked For a minute then it all felt wrong So your changin' again All your clothes, all your friends Just the same as it ever was That far off feeling That up close kind of ache Some white screen reason to Look the other way Iahh Ouu Iahh La dum La dum La dum La dum It's a road that you've paved Over Indian graves and You wonder why your dreams are crazed So you cling to your wife, Your kids, and you life There's nothin' that you're gonna save Put the razor to your face, Hot water for a shave Kill the shadow of yesterday Clean shirt, clean pants, Clean sleet second chance You're goin' by another name Some far off feeling Some up close kind of ache That instant karma That always comes too late Iahh Ouu Iahh La dum La dum La dum La dum La dum
