專輯:Curtains歌曲:The Past Recedes (Album Version)作曲:John Frusciante作詞:John FruscianteAnd then the past recedesand I won't be involvedThe effort to be freeSeems pointless from aboveYou're looking down at meI'd rather stay belowThan have you staring up at meIt is nowhere I want to goAy, this business of how long we try to stay aliveWhy to be here you first got to dieso I gave it a tryAnd what do you knowTime was so long agoAnd things come back you seeTo where they don't belongand every drop of sea is the hole oceanI lied to the greatest thievesabout anything and everythingI'm a figure of forgotten speechI'm out of reachI can't play it safeBut I'm might just in caseI'm disguised as a reaching handI'm a working manI don't understand why clockoutcome so slow everytimeThat's one line I stay right behindThat's one line I stay right behind
