Grasshopper Takeover Tumbleweed
Of all the great discoveries, he's still living in the
past. Though he could see the future, well he knew it
could not last. The present tells a different story. Who
he is now he does not know. And good for all the people
who have tried to be his friend, it was a casting call in
an empty hall for the sick who saw their end. And the
bridges that they crossed to meet him, were more than a
mile that never ends, but they'd do it again. And
suddenly a crash rang out and the cables snapped like
twine. The concrete crumbled 'neath their feet and the
water hit like wine. Now they're screaming out for him to
save them, but he was just a dream that kept them rolling
on. Tumbleweed. Blowing in the wind without a care, never
really going anywhere, lazy summer days and the wind can
take you anywhere you need. Got no reason got no rhyme,
never have to be on time, where ever you go that's where
you are. Tumbleweed. Those who made it 'cross were quite
surprised at what they found, a man whose life was a
metaphor for a sullen one-horse town. They listened hard
for wisdom, but the song remained the same. Oh, what a
shame. Through the misty morning they could see out past
the hills, and all they dreamt would happen did and the
truth it gave them chills. And suddenly he stood beside
them, but the dream was soon to end, never be again. Dust
yourself off, get back up. Keep ridin' on, don't you
stop. You'll see it again, like it or not, tumbleweed.
