Lyrics
Go West
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a ghost
Emptiness haunted his years
Still his heart was made of nothing less than good
Insecure narration in his head
Something less than schizophrenia
Creeping him with every move that he makes
Breath he takes
A beautiful walk alone
To his empty home
Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself
Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away
She hates me
And I know it because she said so
And I forgot my notebook
And my socialist manifesto
Will it be a tragedy
Or a comedy
The choice is up to you
Life can lead you along on a leash
Or you can break free and run on your own
Don't waste your life
Go and live your life
Like it's the last day here on this earth
Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away
Don't waste your life
Go live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away
Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west!
