Headlights and red eyes, a warm beer between your thighs.
mess of pills, hollywood hills, the red lights.
read me my rights.
going in a circle, getting tighter every turn.
think youand're getting better but youand're never quite sure.
say itand's all ahead of you.
how far can you see?
when youand're living on your knees.
driver, please, find your feet.
the lightand's green but you spaced the keys.
youand're going fast but it wonand't last.
youand're all speed and no gas.
going in a circle, never getting to the point.
burning up the atmosphere, my rocket shop boy.
you say thereand's a finish line, but youand're already beat
and'cause youand're living on your knees.
rocket boy, my only son, you look so sad, but youand're so young.
you get so high. youand're all alone, rocket boy, come home.
notebook, some notes you took.
a bit hit, with a cooked hook.
your best friend is you again.
you canand't win but you wonand't give in.
going in a circle, getting lower every time.
say it isnand't hurting but i never see you smile.
asking for the doctor and iand'm calling you a priest
and'cause youand're living on your knees.
rocket boy, you burn so bright,
and i believe you lie so beautifully when you get high.
youand're all alone, rocket boy, come home.
dad, itand's me, again. i hate to call.
could you come down?
thereand's been an accident.
andquot;were you involved?andquot;
andquot;yes, sir, no. sir, they say i was.andquot;
got home, cried alone.
the video will surely show.
no one knows.
i came this close to being me, but i lost us both.
going in a circle and itand's keeping you around.
youand've been here forever but youand've never been found.
you didnand't want a witness
and i didnand't want to see you living on your knees.
rocket boy.
