I thought I knew myself
I thought I knew how I felt
Now I'm thinking what the hell?
I thought I knew myself
I quit my job last month
I thought I was being punk
I wanted to quit the rat race
Now I'm flat on my face
Oh what a shame
The words of Patty Smith bring me back 'round
Remind me of myself and why I'm writing it all down
I need to find my way back home
I've been riding on this double decker death machine alone
Wise up baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
You're goin' crazy
Throw out your five year plan
Don't burn out, baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
Sometimes I run a bath
I think about starting a new band
Or I'll get a new tattoo
I just wanna feel brand new
I just wanna feel brand new
Or the way I used to
The words of Patty Smith bring me back 'round
Remind me of myself and why I'm writing it all down
I need to find my way back home
I've been riding on this double decker death machine alone
Death machine alone
So
Wise up, baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
You're going crazy
Throw out your five year plan
Don't burn out, baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
I wanna watch it drive away
But in my seat I feel so safe
She told me not to waste my life
I know it's just a ride or die
I know it's just a ride or die
I know it's just a ride or die
I know it's just a ride but
I've been riding on this double decker death machine alone
So
Wise up, baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
You're going crazy
Throw out your five year plan
Don't burn out, baby
You've been stuck in a one man band
