Life On A Skateboard Lyrics by Altered State

Dos

1993

Had I known the future shock might have asked my mother to talk the doctor into leaving us, the womb was such a magic bus
But, through that gate I found my way, my first words I began to say, puzzled by this sudden change even then my thoughts were strange
I couldn't run, I couldn't soar
So I chose to live my life on a skateboard
Time began to weave its clothes, that never fit until your old when it's too late to change the fit, you're frightened by the thought of it
School began to subjugate, my innocence so I could hate, the class clown was the sanest thing, the teachers hand an empty sting
I couldn't run, I couldn't soar
So I chose to live my life on a skateboard…
You can never go home again, you can never go home again, you can never go home again, you can never go……home………again
The day soon came, a chance for wings, I thought I'd do so many things, that changed a life or really mattered, but I fell for the holding pattern…..
To that reflection, I'm a man and still I just can't understand, how deep simplicity can get, the more that I unravel it
I couldn't run, I couldn't soar
So I chose to live my life on a skateboard
