John Frusciante Past Recedes Lyrics

Past Recedes Lyrics

And then the past recedes

and I won't be involved

The effort to be
free

Seems pointless from above

You're looking down at me

I'd
rather stay below

Than have you staring up at me

It is nowhere I
want to go

Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive

Why
to be here you first got to die

so I gave it a try

And what do you
know

Time was so long ago

And things come back you see

To
where they don't belong

and every drop of sea is the hole ocean

I
lied to the greatest thieves

about anything and everything

I'm a
figure of forgotten speech

I'm out of reach

I can't play it
safe

But I'm might just in case

I'm disguised as a reaching
hand

I'm a working man

I don't understand why clockout

come
so slow everytime

That's one line I stay right behind
