Map Of The World

There's a map of the world on the wall in your room
 Green pins where you want to go
 White pins where you've been, there isn't even ten
 And your already feeling old
 Pretty faces stare back from the magazine stack
 That you read when you're feeling bored
 Look through a telescope lens it doesn't make sense
 You think you've been there before
 Some far off feeling, some up close kind of ache
 A wide screen reason to look the other way
 There's a place by the lake that you go when its late
 In the summer when the crowds are gone
 You sit all alone with your thoughts getting stoned
 Just waiting for some peace to come
 Like the thing that you tried that you thought that you liked
 For a minute then it all felt wrong
 So you change it again all your clothes, all your friends
 It's the same as it ever was
 That far off feeling, that up close kind of ache
 Some wide screen reason to look the other way
 It's the road that you paved over indian graves
 And you wonder why your dreams are crazed
 So you cling to wife, your kids, your life
 There's nothing that your gonna save
 Put the razor to your face, hot water for a shave
 Kill the shadow of yesterday
 Clean shirt, clean pants, clean slate, second chance
 You're going by another name
 Some far off feeling, an up close kind of ache
 That instant karma always comes to late
