Thought I’d stop by to see you
Make sure you were still here
Don’t worry, I have no intentions of staying long
I have things to do
Places to be
Anyplace but here
You, the rotting corpse
The one with nothing to say, nothing to offer
It’s my duty to check on you, I know
But you can see why this is hard
There is nothing of interest
Nothing in it for me
I’m simply fulfilling an obligation
An obligation made so long ago
I hardly remember why I agreed
But, I did
And so I’m here, again
Counting the seconds until I leave
Seconds which seem more like hours
So, alas, you’re still here
You look the same
I guess that’s as good as any we can hope for
So I think I’ll be going
For as you know
I never had intentions of staying

Stick with me, kid
We’ll go places
Places you never dreamed of
Far off, yet so close
Too close
Too close for comfort
You’ll see things in magical ways
And in the ways you’ll wish you hadn’t
It’s a long ride
But a short trip
To the back roads of everything
To the dirt paths of nothingness
Stick close by
This is no place to wonder alone
Especially if you don’t know
What you’re doing
There will be ups and downs
Things will be right side up
But also inside out
You’ll speak in tongues
Spitting fire and crashing rains
Thunder will be your comfort
Yet always out of reach
So reach, reach far and wide
Let in all go
While you take it all in
Confused?
Then stick with me, kid
We’re going places
A journey like none before
Hold on
And hold on tight
This is the ride of a lifetime
This is the here and now
scary as shit
But fun as hell
You know the drill
You know the saying
Stick close
Buy the ticket, sit back
And enjoy this here big show
It’s gonna be quite the ride
