Tombstone

by Duncan Jones

It’s the same old game that I haven’t yet named

But it really doesn’t matter ‘cause it’s all the same

Everybody’s got a plan, everybody’s got advice

So I sit, and I listen, and I think, “that’s nice”

I don’t know what’s right, but I think I know wrong

And those times I can’t decide I just write another song

Then I go through the motions, then it’s back to the gym

‘Cause if I can’t get money then I’m gonna get big

First place is kinda hard kinda just like last

But you know I can’t help it I’m just so damn fast

Holliday says, “Not me, I’m in my prime”

And once again I remember “there’s no normal life”

And then I know I can’t go yet, my show ain’t shown

No, they still got nothin’ to write on my tombstone

It’s lonely at the top, yes that’s just the curse

If you wanna see the race then you can’t come in first

Careful, fame is a spice, too much just sucks

So I wish upon you ease and so many good lucks

Though I’m scared of the dark I come alive in the night

Though I’m scared of gettin’ hurt I come alive when I fight

Oh well, here comes the trend, my friend I can’t fight it

So pop goes goes the collar, might as well look like it

First place is kinda hard kinda just like last

But you know I can’t help it I’m just so damn fast

Holliday says, “Not me, I’m in my prime”

And once again I remember “there’s no normal life”

And then I know I can’t go yet, my show ain’t shown

No, they still got nothin’ to write on my tombstone

Nothin’ humbles quite like the signs of age

Nothin’ takes away the magic of the beast like a cage

A lone wolf’s always home, guess he’s smarter than the test

And success is great but doesn’t mean you’re the best

So when I get to think I’m gettin’ better since birth

I remind me and myself that dinosaurs ruled the Earth

Good things in time, no one’s ever undone it

But that ain’t my style I’d rather try to out run it

First place is kinda hard kinda just like last

But you know I can’t help it I’m just so damn fast

Holliday says, “Not me, I’m in my prime”

And once again I remember “there’s no normal life”

And then I know I can’t go yet, my show ain’t shown

No, they still got nothin’ to write on my tombstone

First place is kinda hard kinda just like last

But you know I can’t help it I’m just so damn fast

Holliday says, “Not me, I’m in my prime”

And once again I remember “there’s no normal life”

And then I know I can’t go yet, my show ain’t shown

No, they still got nothin’ to write on my tombstone
