The Albatross
Life's a long road
But such a short journey
You take a deep breath
Fall from your mother's knee
Into the jungle
Into the great unknown
You were a fledgling
But now you've flown
Life's a fast car
That tries to mow you down
It's the green grass
Of another town
That stirs your fancy
Makes you skip a beat
You were ice cold
But now you're red hot heat
Burn
Turn
Learn
Yearn
The albatross
Above the ground
Floats on by
Without a sound
Burn
Turn
Learn
Yearn
Life's a rough ride
With a guaranteed end
The checkered flag falls
Before the final bend
Your motor's screaming
You were born to fail
The ace of spades lands
Next to the hammer and nail
Life's a gamble
A losers hopeless bet
We're all eroding
On time's conveyor belt
The taxman's drooling
For you to fade away
To squeeze your body
To rob your legacy
Burn
Turn
Learn
Yearn
Burn
Turn
Learn
Yearn
Burn
Turn

Yearn
The albatross
Above the ground
Floats on by
Without a sound
But such a short journey
You take a deep breath
Fall from your mother's knee
Into the jungle
Into the great unknown
You were a fledgling
But now you've flown
Life's a fast car
That tries to mow you down
It's the green grass
Of another town
That stirs your fancy
Makes you skip a beat
You were ice cold
But now you're red hot heat
Burn

Yearn
The albatross
Above the ground
Floats on by
Without a sound
Burn

Life's a rough ride
With a guaranteed end
The checkered flag falls
Before the final bend
Your motor's screaming
You were born to fail
The ace of spades lands
Next to the hammer and nail
Life's a gamble
A losers hopeless bet
We're all eroding
On time's conveyor belt
The taxman's drooling
For you to fade away
To squeeze your body
To rob your legacy
Burn

The albatross
Above the ground
Floats on by
Without a sound
