Riffs 1 & 2 w/Lead 1:
 "I been waiting
 Waiting under things that rise in the morning
 I been holding
 Holding back so long
 You can own it, take it off my hands, do me a favor
 Nothin' wasted
 Just finger-fucked and busted up all at once"

Lyrics:
 I been waiting
 Waiting under things that rise in the morning
 I been holding
 Holding back so long
 You can own it, take it off my hands, do me a favor
 Nothin' wasted
 Just finger-fucked and busted up all at once

 I’m so lost out on the highway
 With no direction left to go
 Everyday sit up and wonder
 Where it was I started from
 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around
 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around, yeah

 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around
 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around
 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around
 The more you’ve found the less you’ve been around, yeah
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
