Laugh and walk away
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 haven't found the formula to measure my distress
The tick-tock of my heart-clock tells my mind I'm so depressed
I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls
Is it something rare or new or is it something old?
Is it something old?
My job it takes me everywhere but I ain't seen a thing
At eighty miles an hour rolling hills all seem the same
I've searched the mountains and the streams but I can't find a clue
Is it something old or worn or is it something new?
I go where I go (I go where I go)
I go where I go, I don't know
Such a silent world and an empty road
Behind that world is a pot of gold...
I woke up from a deep deep sleep and out the door I went
I didn't bother to turn back, my feet were sore and red
I searched behind the mirrors and I broke down all the walls
Is it something revenue or is it something new?
I go where I go (I go where I go)
I go where I go, I don't know
Such a silent world and an empty road
I go where I go (I go where I go)
I go where I go, I don't know
Such a silent world and an empty road
Behind that world is a pot of gold...
I'm sick of greedy people who just want a piece of me
They're all so clever and so bright and modern to the T
You smell them from a mile away but I don't really care
When it comes down to the facts I laugh and walk away (laugh and walk away)
