lyrics

Before I Go

I’ll be your captain at sea who’s never seen past the shore.
While the rides raged along.
And if I called you a key, would you open my door, or rage along?
Rage along.

The train keeps chugging along, and then some.
Yeah, we are born into a song and the devil knows the moves.

So forget everything you’ve earned,
Take those books and make them burn.

Take to songs that teach you to think too tough for a shrink,
Take to songs that protect the streets by becoming police.

I’m gone before I go.

I’ll be a preacher of peace who’s always waging some war.
While the tides raged along.
A man once called me a priest, so I said to him,
“You better pray for a Lord, or rage along.”
Rage along.

Oh, but it already had begun when you were born into the song.
Yeah gears keep grinding along, they keep grinding along.

So forget the things you think you’ve learned,
To teach that tune to take a turn.

I am the lock, baby you are the key.
You should twist it and see.

I am the blind, you are the aching to see.
I trust you’ll follow my lead.

I’m gone before I go,
Here before I show.

Oh, the song it seems to only sing when you are listening.
