311 - And a Ways to Go Lyrics
Searching for somethingA million miles and a ways to goEnding up wonderingMoments I think I knowThe answer seems to allude meSearching for somethingA million miles and a ways to goSifting through nothingLiquid you cannot holdDestination nowhere oohDestination nowhere ooh-oohBro I had a dream man it was buried in loreThat I was sailing on the seas and I was out to exploreAnd it was lucid in a way homey I didn’t need oars uh-uhI had a feeling that I’d been there before yoI hit shore it was shrouded in mistAnd in the distance coming in view a primordial forestA people then approached waving their handsThey were speaking in a tongue I could not understandThey led me though at last to a beautiful fireAnd it deepened in a way that I forgot I admiredWhat emerged was more than the wholeness withinI’d seen the men who had been me the beasts I had beenSearching for somethingA million miles and a ways to goSifting through nothingThe sand you cannot holdDestination nowhere oohDestination nowhere ooh-oohA shaman held a rattle that he started to shakeAnxiety was filling me and was this all a mistakeAn elder fell to the ground marking the dirtHe was drawing up a map defining sky and the earthHe pointed to the east, north, west, and the southAnd then he pointed to the heavens and he started to shoutThe women in the front at once began to chantWhile the men beat on drums and that elder man dancedCome on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a rideI don’t know if we’ll come backCome on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a rideI don’t know if we’ll come backCome on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a rideI don’t know if we’ll come backCome on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a rideI don’t know if we’ll come back
