  • Please take a long hard look through your text book
    'Cause I'm history
    When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
    Cause I've been dying to leave
    Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change
    In my bedroom
    'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turnpike
    Always takes it's toll on me

    I've had just about enough
    Of quote, "diamonds in the rough"
    Because my backbone is paper thin
    Get me out of this cavern
    Or I'll cave in (I'll cave in, I'll cave in)

    If the bombs go off
    The sun will still be shining (the sun will still be shining)
    Because we've heard it said that every mushroom cloud
    Has a silver lining
    (Though we're always undermining too deep to know)
    Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
    'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
    The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
    Mixed with stale gasoline
    I'll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
    I'll get ten minutes give-or-take
    'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
    When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

    Get me out of this cavern
    Or I'll cave in (cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in)
    Get me out of this cavern
    Or I'll cave in

    I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in (in case my head caves in)
    'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
    It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
    Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track (so I stay on track)
    And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
    Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back

    I won't even look back Writer/s: Adam R. Young
