The Past Recedes Lyrics

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
There's no where 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 belongJohn Frusciante - The Past Recedes - http://motolyrics.com/john-frusciante/the-past-recedes-lyrics.html
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 out of reach
Oh, I can't play it safe
But I might just in case

Oh, I'm disguised as a reaching hand
I'm a working man
I don't understand why clockout
Comes so slow every time
That's one line I stay right behind
That's one line I stay right behind
Yeah...
