(+) Yeah! (+)

-I was standing at the gas pump at my local Circle K
-I had just put my saw away after a night of play
-When an old disheveled Scrooge-y type did call out my name
-Saying, dammit Bob, dont you know youre better from where you came?
-Well, truth be told, where I came from was not where I was born
-But where my stork dropped me after hiding that Id been born

-well I ran away from him and I made it to the pier
-Id aimed for Heritage Square, but thats just where I steered
-I decided to take a nap, tired from the grind
-but the ghost of Marley McFly had come up from behind
-threatening to take me back to the past
-where id thrived before andd thrive again had that deal not been cashed

-i wanna say something, i said, to get under peoples belts
-like that one lawyer who fell in love and got whacked for someone else
-Scrooge came back fuming, saying Id lose at the door
-that I cant even write without mixing my metaphors
-they told me theyd see me at home, but I couldnt tell
-if it was flirty or a threat so I hitch-hiked to the hills

-i set up at the pediatrics, ready for the show
-Id gotten in by saying that I knew the great van Gogh
-but once i started playing, they kicked me to the curb
-saying i couldnt know van Gogh, how could they have taken my word
-i said I do, I swear Im telling you the truth
-hes the tall man at the quarry with plastic bags for shoes

-i stumbled in a neighborhood, my past not far behind
-the people didnt look anything like me, but I didnt mind
-i saw a house that bore a cross and knocked to play my song
-she called me a hack and said to leave, but I hadnt even sung
-i said what about love your neighbor, and those golden gates?
-she said i didnt live anywhere near her and to get out of her face

-the future seemed so distant - so close but out of view
-i stopped in a store that claimed they sold the worlds fastest shoes
-i picked up two lefts, and put them on my feet
-i left the man a you owe me and took out to the street
-i took one great big step and fell right on my face
-and saw the tag on the side that said DO NOT USE IN A RACE

-i decided that the future was just too far to traverse
-and pulled out my scooter that rode across the universe
-i ended up, one light week away
-and looked through my telescope to see last Monday
-when I told you what I seen, youre bound to drop your jaw
-Mr Scrooge and Marley were buying their own saws!
