End Up Alone

What i see is what's to be,
Cartwheels to eternity.
'round and 'round my head she goes,
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes...
Took our picture by the sea,
The ocean waits to carry me.
Carry me back home again,
To where she sleeps i lay my head...
Saw her running barefoot
But the ground there never touched her feet
Watched her in the shadows
While the tide came in and claimed our beach
We could've made it in the dunes
We had it all within our reach
But i've got a lot of life to learn
And you've got a lot of life to teach
[chrous]
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
We gather no moss just like a rolling...
What i say is what i mean,
No definition in between.
Couldn't make it in the movie scene,
You couldn't stay on on you couldn't stay clean...
What you wear is who you are,
The odds are in and you'll go far.
A penny for your thoughts you'll see,
A nickel buys you what you need...
Saw you on the big show
Saw you swinging from the big trapeze
Standing on my tip toes
While you brushed the dirt from off your knees
Should have come as no surprise
No one else here did have your drive
You've got a big white stretch parked right outside
But nobody there to share your ride
[chours]
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned?...
What i know is what i hear,
The ringing in my ears is clear.
A monkey's got it made you see,
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree...
[chrous]
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
We gather no moss just like a rolling stone
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we all wake up dead drunk or stoned?
Dead drunk or stoned?
Just like a rolling stone
