Rear Window - Dice Raw

Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window

Hit the gas, going fast

Hit the brakes,

Watching life go by through the rear window

Is it a reason why the ocean is blue

Is it a reason why the sky is too

Some say brown eyes turn blue, is that true

That love can change the eye color of a fool

I guess, we all play the fool, the first rule

The first guideline, in the game of playing it cool

Some think playing it cool is just playing you

That’s if you wear your heart on your sleeve, and it’s in plain view

Then I can see all the bullshit that you’ve been through

And you can see all the bullshit that I’ve been through

Sitting as my passenger looking through my rear view

You can see my past behind me, but behind you, I see

A veil, white dress with a long tail

And maybe one day, I can be that groom

When you confront your past, you see what’s true

I just hope it isn’t too late for me and you

Going through my mind, picking out memories

Each painful thought comes with a penalty

And each happy one, it comes with a price

I guess penalties and prices are just a part of life

I take it how it comes, I take it by the tongues

Then take something that numbs that’s stronger than Tums

I take a drag, pass around the bag like the bums

Do with the cardboard cribs in the slums

Looking through the rear view without a clear view

Of what’s to come, so I let the engine run

Every time I come by the spot

Today, I might not even stop

It may sound phony but that’s just how I feel

It may be phony, but I’m just being real

Life ain’t a game about luck, it ain’t about skill

I can’t say I never change, because I’m changing still

Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window

Hit the gas, going fast

Hit the brakes,

Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window
