Telescope (Unpeeled) - Cage The Elephant

Written by：Cage The Elephant

In a far and distant galaxy

Inside my telescope I see

A pair of eyes peer back at me

He walks and talks and looks like me

Sits around inside his house

From room to room he moves about

Fills his life with pointless things

And wonders how it all turns out

Do do do do do

Do do do do do

Safe to say that

I don't think you understand

Nowhere left to turn

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it's time worth spent

Or time I've wasted

Don't waste it

Afraid of what the truth might bring

He locks his doors and never leaves

Desperately looking for signs

To terrify to find a thing

He battens all the hatches down

And wonders why he hears no sounds

Frantically searching his dreams

He wonders what it's all about

Do do do do do

Do do do do do

Safe to say that

I don't think you understand

Nowhere left to turn

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it's time worth spent

Or time I've wasted

Clearing my mind

Losing my friends

Follow my fears

Do it again

You say how do you do

Man how about you

Man how about you

To be free

To be son

To be killed

To be saved

In my head I'm alone

I'm OK I'm ashamed

Just like you I've been tryin'

To be scared

In my bones I feel cold

I give this to the lord in the sea

In this street

Let me go

Let me be I don't need

To be here I'm alone

Can't you see can't you see

I don't think you understand

Nowhere left to turn

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it's time worth spent

Or time I've wasted

Don't waste it
