Cave In

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 dirtbike down a turnpike

Always takes its 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

If the bombs go off

The sun will still be shining

Because we've heard it said that every mushroom cloud

Has a silver lining

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

Get me out of this cavern

Or I'll cave in

I'll keep my helmet on just 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

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
