{Verse Riff}
Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.


A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes, back, back.


{Verse Riff}
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good boy.
What a f*ck-up, what a fighter.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider,
Hung on the vine like a poison spider.
Win a eulogy with William Greider,
car crash, ptomaine, explosion-provider,
bus plunge, avalanche, poison spider.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider.


A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes, back, back.


B           G
Go, go, go, yeah.
B           G      A
Go, go, go, yeah.


{Verse Riff}
Everybody is young forever.
There's so much to tell you, so little time.
I've come a long way since the whatever,
shit, I still see a word, think of you.
There's so much that I can't do, yeah.
You will be young forever.
There's so much that I can't do.
There isn't so much that I can't do.


A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A       G
Here it comes, back, back.
