"The Goal" lyrics
"The Goal"
I can't leave my house
Or answer the phone
I'm going down again
But I'm not alone
Settling at last
Accounts of the soul
This for the trash
That paid in full
As for the fall, it
Began long ago
Can't stop the rain
Can't stop the snow
I sit in my chair
I look at the street
The neighbor returns
My smile of defeat
I move with the leaves
I shine with the chrome
I'm almost alive
I'm almost at home
No one to follow
And nothing to teach
Except that the goal
Falls short of the reach

Richard Hawley - "Ballad Of A Thin Man" You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard

Just what you will say
When you get home
