And I'm going nowhere fast
It could be taking you there with me
But it looks like I'm still on my own
Though the motions I've been going through have failed
And I'm coasting on potential towards a wall
My foot is in the door (yeah)
When these open doors were open-ended
When these open doors were open-ended
Pete and I attacked the laws of Astoria*
with promise and precision and mess of youthful innocence
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived more than an hour (more than an hour)
My foot is in the door (yeah)
When these open doors were open-ended
When these open doors were open-ended
And I read about the afterlife
And I read about the afterlife
When these open doors were open-ended
When these open doors were open-ended
* In the CD booklet this line goes as
"Pete and I said goodbye to Astoria"
but in the actual song it sounds nothing like this]
