Testo Thurso

I made my escape
So I could believe in fate
And I tried counting all the days
And felt good for trying

I made my escape
Under the cover of an old lampshade
So that I could see the shape Of a new horizon

I turn twenty and my dad
Turns fifty at my back
He makes up for all I lack
In facing darkness

But while I'm young and thin
I'll keep rushing round the bends
And I won't be slowing down
'Til I reach the ocean

See how far we came (As far as you want to come)
But we're still the same (Not like the other ones)
I'd rather act my age (I'll be your only son)See how far we came

It's nothing that I've said
But it's everything I meant
Everything that I depend on
Is slowly dying

And up among the hills
I don't need no fucking pills
I can drink away the ills
Of a working summer

See how far we came (As far as you want to come)
But we're still the same (Not like the other ones)
You know I'll never change (I'll be your only son)
See how far we came

How can I believe anything they say, anything they say ?
How can I believe anything they say, anything they say ?
