"Option 8" lyrics

"Option 8"

I'm feeling with the things that I've kept with mine
I'm on the way to the place that makes you keep time
Who's to say when all the roofs will cave in again?
I'm taking notes for the folks who fall out of line

Stand straight, don't be late, I never meant to hesitate
I say you wanted it all

I'm on the run from the severed leg of my son
Fall on a day when your body would break and you're done
Who's to tell you you should stop when you're feeling stung?
I'm biding time till you're warped and left with just one

Stand straight, don't be late, I never meant to hesitate
I say there's more to fall
Stand straight, don't be late, I never meant to hesitate
I say I'd better stall
Stand straight, don't be late, they play the song called "Option 8"
I say you wanted it all

Stand straight, don't be late, I never meant to hesitate
I say you wanted it all

On the way, on the way, on the way for a dime
On the way, on the way, on the way for a dime
On the way, on the way, on the way for a dime

Stand straight, don't be late, I never meant to hesitate
I say you wanted it all
