Lyrics

Where I Am

[Intro: Mariska Veres (Sampled)]

"Telling myself

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and

Trust by the sound of the rain"

[Verse 1: Trials]

Rock-stars back then threw their TVs out

I'm like, "Fuck that" Balconies just freak me out

All I think about is jumping off, do it and die

Freaking out waiting for the Raid like Louie The Fly

Huh! More of this shit, day getting worse

By night talking how sick The Gravediggaz were

Now I'm paranoid of the gaping void in the door

That the smoke might get out, X popped his head out

Check the coast is clear like dudes with no idea

That don't want refugee boats here

Picking up the phone, press it, down to reception

Late check-out? Nah, you do that at check-in

So I either sleep now or drop

But the party don't stop till Cambodian Rock

It's only when you so low that you know you so high

Like being freaked out by two big balloons in the sky

Like, "What the fuck?"

[Chorus: Mariska Veres (Sampled) & Funkoars]

'Cause there's a long and lonesome road

Gotta find our world of you and me, babe

You ain't gotta wake up tomorrow, do it again like oh!

A long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world of you and me, babe

It goes on and on no matter where I am

Long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world like it used to be, babe

So, all I get is where I fit, anywhere I can, go!

[Post-Chorus: Mariska Veres] (Sampled)

"Telling myself

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and

Trust by the sound of the rain"

[Verse 2: Sesta]

Lock the hinges, bolt the hatches

But the window open 'case they catch us

Say we needa make an escape and gotta get out

Quick, forget our shit, we're caught with this we're

Gone, now is that really worth it?

Drown out the sound of the Earth giving birth

To the paranoia that'll spoil a good game of

2K, got me wigging out like a toupee

Managers saying, "Give me something to work with"

Mum say, "Boy, you really need to start working"

I say, "You pay and carry the piss through the

Lobby, meanwhile I'll make a diversion"

Usually it's nice as the pain that I'm nursing

Every single city has a similar version

I just note that I'm in one of them

If the crowd givin' love you can stand up in front of them

And oh!

[Chorus: Mariska Veres (Sampled) & Funkoars]

'Cause there's a long and lonesome road

Gotta find our world of you and me, babe

You ain't gotta wake up tomorrow, do it again like oh!

A long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world of you and me, babe

It goes on and on no matter where I am

Long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world like it used to be babe

So, all I get is where I fit, anywhere I can, go!

[Post-Chorus: Mariska Veres] (Sampled)

"Telling myself

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and

Trust by the sound of the rain"

[Verse 3: Hons]

Now, don't worry 'bout them, I pick 'em up at the bar

Two girls, one fought for a bit of ménage

When you lay a blanket on me, check it with a black light

Birdies in the clubhouse wanna play the back nine

Par, there's two of 'em picking up women

Different one every night like I'm Barney Stinson

Ayy, Funkoars, you wanna party with us?

Ever since Step Daddy, been their father figures

Checked in for the déjà vu

Fire hot and on the ground that was sprayed by food

And I laugh till I'm goddamn blue in the face

I didn't trip the alarm to vacate the place

Plus the trolley in the lobby ain't me

But if you vacuum our room I'll prolly take the heat

I need to be home, yeah, me and my sofa

Till next Friday comes and we all do it over

Again

[Chorus: Mariska Veres (Sampled) & Funkoars]

'Cause there's a long and lonesome road

Gotta find our world of you and me, babe

You ain't gotta wake up tomorrow, do it again like oh!

A long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world of you and me, babe

It goes on and on no matter where I am

Long (on and on and on) and lonesome road (on and on)

That will find our world like it used to be babe

So, all I get is where I fit, anywhere I can, go!

[Post-Chorus: Mariska Veres] (Sampled)

"Telling myself

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—

I don't go too far and—
