John Frusciante: The Past Recedes

Letra :The Past Recedes

And then the past recedes

And I won't be involved

The effort to be free

Seems pointless from above

Yor're looking down at' me

I'd rather stay below

Than have you staring up at me

Is nowhere I want to go

Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive

Why to be here you've first got to die

So i gave it a try

And what do you know

Time was so long ago

And thinks come back you see

To where they don't belong

And every drop of sea is the whole ocean

I lied to the greatest thieves

About anything and everything

I'm a figure of forgotten speech

I'm our of reach

I can't play it safe

But i might just in case

I'm disguised as a reaching hand

I'm working man

I'dont understand why clockout

Comes so slow every thome

That's one line i stay right behind
