[Lyric] Off He Goes Live on Two Legs (Pearl Jam)

[Verse 1]
Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side
Of this trip he's taking for a ride

[Chorus]
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes
There he goes

[Verse 2]
He's yet to come back, but I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
Oh, we go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size

[Chorus]
He's been taken, where? I don't know
There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
And there he goes
[Verse 3]
Oh, and now I rub my eyes for he has returned
It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit; that has grown
Oh, and now he's home, and we're laughing like we always did
My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted, and I know just what is gonna happen next
Before his first step, he is off again

There he's gone...
