Please take a long hard look through your textbook   '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 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   Though I'm 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, try 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
