John Frusciante - The Past Recedes

Back


"The Past Recedes" by John Frusciante
Album: Curtains (2005)
Label: Record Collection

And then the past recedes
And I won't be involved
The effort to be free
Seems pointless from above
You're looking down at me
I'd rather stay below
Than have you staring up at me
Is nowhere I want to go
I'm in this business of how long we try to stay alive
Why to be here you first have got to die
So I gave it a try
And what do you know
Time was so long ago
And things come back you see
To where they don't belong
And every drop of sea is the whole ocean
I lie to the greatest thieves
About anything and everything
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
I'm out of reach
Oh, I can't play it safe
But I might just in case
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
I'm a working man
I don't understand why clock-out
Comes so slow every time
That's one line I stay right behind
That's one line I stay right behind.
