Friend Of Inertia
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.
I got the rest of my life to be cool
Aaahhh....the rest of my life to be cool
I got the end of my life to be old
Aaahhh....the end of my life to be old
So I am takin' a flier on havin' you change me,
Keepin' my sights set on upward and onward
Tryin' to make me a friend of inertia
Big fascination with what I been given
Big fascination with just bein' down here
So I'm tryin' to make a friend of inertia...
Never wanna be acted upon
Aaahhh....don' wanna be acted upon
