Lyrics
You push the pedal but the thing won't go
You try to learn it but you just don't know
Who's holding bullets for your twisted gun
You've spun it so that I may be the one
What will your wounded soldier spell
He's playing dead among the things that he will never tell
When will your wound soul just see
That nothing here grows out of secrecy, you say
You're never gonna be rich
But how you ever gonna know
If you never open your eyelids
Tell me how you're gonna find gold
You're tellin' me you never been kissed
Well maybe that's the way it goes
But if you never learned to take nothin'
How you gonna learn to let go
You're movin' on or are you runnin' scared
It won't be long before the game gets fair
You sit in silence and you plead your case
You call it wisdom but they're just mistakes
They'll never need you back in Oregon
Can't build no story on the same old song
And givin' up is such a bitter taste
I see the sour growin' on your face, you say
You're never gonna be rich
But how you ever gonna know
If you never open your eyelids
Tell me how you're gonna find gold
You're tellin' me you've never been kissed
Well maybe that's the way it goes
But if you never learn to take nothin'
How you gonna learn to let go
You say
You're never gonna be rich
But how you ever gonna know
If you never open your eyelids
Tell me how you gonna find gold
