What I see is what's to be
Cartwheels to eternity
Round and round my head she goes
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes

Took our picture by the sea
The ocean waits to carry me
Carry me back home again
To where she sleeps I lay my head

Saw [bad word] barefoot 
But the ground there never touched her feet
Watched her in the shadows 
While the tide came in and claimed our beach
We could've made it in the dunes 
We had it all within our reach
But I've got a lot of life to learn 
And you've got a lot of life to teach

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss just like a rolling

What I say is what I mean
No definition in between
Couldn't make it in the movie scene
You couldn't stay on, you couldn't stay clean
What you wear is who you are
The odds are in and you'll go far
penny for your thoughts you'll see
nickel buys you what you need

Saw you on the big show 
Saw you swinging from the big trapeze 
Standing on my tiptoes 
While you [bad word] the dirt from off your knees
Should [bad word] as no surprise 
No one else here did have your drive
You've got a big white stretch parked right outside 
But nobody there to share your ride

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all end up dead [bad word] or stoned

What I know is what I hear
The ringing in my ears is clear
monkey's got it made you see
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss just like a rolling stone
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all wake up dead [bad word] or stoned

Dead [bad word] or stoned
Just like a rolling stone
