Lyrics
Range Life
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.
After the glow, the scene, the stage
The sad talk becomes slow, but there's one thing I'll never forget
Hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent
Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic
There's ways of livin', its the way I'm livin', right or wrong
Its all that I can do and I wouldn't wanna let you be
I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down
I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down
Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat
Pass me your gloves
This crime, it is never complete
Until you snort it up or shoot it down
You're never gonna feel free
Out on my skateboard the night is just humming
And the gumsmacks are the pulse I'll follow
If my walkman fades
Well I got absolutely no one
No one but myself to blame
Don't worry, we're in no hurry
Schools out
What did you expect?
I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down
I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down
Out on tour with Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids
I- they don't have no functio, n I dont understand a word they say
And I could really give a fuck
Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothin', nothin' more tha nme
Dreamin', dream, dream, dream, dream
So alive!
