The Distance
Iron Eyes Cody
Bloodstains on faded pictures
And it comes in waves
As the shouts turn into whispers
Thoughts keep running through her brain
Make the pounding in her heart beat quicker
Says it all comes down to the run-around
And as a book slips in her fingers
Says I don’t really think the drugs they've got can pull it off
So I’m gonna sell my blood to a man I met in Simon’s Rock
He’s got a plan to put me in a diamond top
And make a grand playin' geriatric glam nostalgia rock

Shaken to the core
Breaks in the door
Makes out twenty-five laying on the floor
All praying to the Lord
But the praying’s ignored
Saying that they should’ve been praying before
And he won’t

And  woke that night to the rains of nuclear war and
And she said oh my soul’s gotten cold and lost
And I’m throwing it out
Oh, won’t you go
Make the most of a bad existence
‘Cause you’re so much older than she ever planned to live with
And she says: Everybody knows the difference
Between right to try and a life of lies
And if you go the distance, go the distance
I’ll fall behind

Eighteen with a sex addiction
And he states his dreams in written online erotica fiction
Accounts of places he ain’t been
About relationships and vision
Types: Tomorrow night’s been a long time coming
If they’d have only listened

Shaking in the night, wakes and he writes
Twenty-five ways you can waste your life
Says he takes what he likes
Breaks with the light
Makes for Boston with his fate decided
Says he prays that every thought’s been pre-assigned to him
‘Cause it’s blinding to know
My soul’s gotten cold and lost
And I’m throwing it out

Oh, won’t you go
Make the most of a bad existence
‘Cause you’re so much older than she ever planned to live with
And she says: Everybody’s got commitments
Between the right to try and a life of lies
And if you go the distance, go the distance
I’ll fall behind
I'll fall behind
Write the lyrics for a pop song made in 2016, titled "The Distance", by artist "Iron Eyes Cody".
