Rotator

Inside, outside, upside down
A few more years in this border town
Can we grow old and dignified
Or will we reach a familiar line

Wasted all my time
And all my friends
Think I lost my mind
And it's bound to happen again

And you know you should
But you really don't care
As you head down 79
With the wind in your hair

I may tell a lot of lies but I tell them with conviction
Said you "didn't mind my eyes" but I think I mind your diction
Let the idiot speak, all eyes on me
I'd keep my eyes on the prize but I've only one left to see

15 excuses that I won't use
And 14 friends that stick like glue
And 13 occultists must have cursed my name
And 12 more months for something to change

You know I'll just rotate

Echo ain't got nothing on me
But we have the same affliction, Juno showed us no mercy
Forgive me if my words repeat
But there's comfort in a familiar beat

So I'm biding time
Across a bridge I burned
And we're crossing lines
From which we can't return

But I'll find a way back
Like I always do
We can run out of sight
But we'll stumble back into view

Now a father to a sister of my convoluted thinking
Will drag me out to sea, but soon I will be sinking
Just seems like this old story is never ending
And I'll tell it once again from behind a set of strings

15 excuses that I won't use
And 14 friends that stick like glue
And 13 occultists must have cursed my name
And 12 more months for something to change

You know I'll just rotate
