lyrics

I studied all my books
And I thought I knew what to be
It seemed so easy
It seemed so easy
But the second I got my chance
I fell flat on my face
I got out of the race
I got out of the race
It seemed to me like the only thing to do

I thought I heard the gun
And so I started to run
But got called for a false start
And now I'm back at the gate
But it's getting late
And I'm afraid of the dark
And I would try to run, but I planted my feet in the ground

Bring me the mortar
And I'll go grab my trowel
We'll build a wall
We'll build a wall
Count off a hundred yards
And, again the race is on
Hit the wall head-on
Hit it head-on
Well, it seemed to me like the only thing to do

I thought I heard the gun
And so I started to run
But got called for a false start
As a penalty
They put nails through my feet
And then one through my heart
And I would try to run, but I just keep falling down

I studied all my books
And I thought I knew what to be
But it's not for me
It's not for me
I think of all the things I've done
And everything I've said
I can't get out of my head
Get it out of my head
I guess that I'm the only one to blame

I thought I heard the gun
And so I started to run
But got called for a false start
I took the gun from my head
And I aimed it, instead
At the wall I built in the dark
And it didn't come down, but at least now I know where to go
