Kid Chameleon - Over the Turnstile Lyrics

At the edge of the Peaks where the valley dips
A body of water, a bundle of sticks
Tyre marks and scattered shards
Screeching halt, you went too far

Is that really how you want to be remembered
Beer in hand and a shirt with a brand
An adjective and body part
Busted knuckles, broken heart

I'll never get tired of the bike ride
Lifting it up high and over the turnstile
I left it too long and I went too far
They'd filled in the reservoir

I had thoughts of climbing the cliff side
It'd only be an extra few miles
But feeling deflated and aching my body couldn't take
I guess I'll leave it for another time

I may have told a lie, or two, or three at some point to you

You said you'd always care for me, be there for me
See me through my reverie
But really I'll look out for me, be there for me
Sitting out the revelry
Day after day

Now I'm left with a single room
Two windows with barely a view
An evening spent further than I should be
With a roadside eulogy

Someone I never knew, or care to know
Perhaps I'm just like you
You had a car and a house and a life and a dog
So it's fair to say probably not

I may have told a lie, or two, or three at some point to you

You said you'd always care for me, be there for me
See me through my reverie
But really I'll look out for me, be there for me
Sitting out the revelry
You said you'd always care for me, be there for me
See me through my reverie
Day after day
