When I Struck Out on My Own

Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Oh, and when I struck out, struck out on, on my own
I did not know where I was going
For analyzing causation is one thing
To look at the cards is one thing
But to know the future time, it's an unattainable thing
But to predict and plan for it can be done
No, that's not something that can't be done
That's just something that must be done
That's another commandment for you
That's another injunction
Planning for the future time, that's something that must be done
That's part of our evolutionary purpose
That's our law
That's our heritage
That's a meaningful thing

Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Oh, and when I struck out, struck out on, on my own
I had a few things that I was talking of on my phone
Yes, and I had a few emails that I'd been meaning to respond to
But I didn't have time, didn't have time to get back to you
Back to you

Makes me feel like a long time gone
Makes me feel like a long time gone
Makes me feel like a long time gone
Makes me feel like a long time gone
A long time gone, a long time gone
A long time gone, a long time gone
A long time gone, a long time gone
A long time gone
