My old man was born to rock But he's still tryin' to beat the clock Think of me what you will I've gotta a little space to fill So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint Let's head on down the road, there's some place I gotta go You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels... to be me You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels... to be me

Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
G

She's an honest defector
Bm
A
Conscientious objector
G
Now her own protector
Broken skyline, which way to love land Which way to something better Which way to forgiveness? Which way do I go? It's time to move on...
G
D
Sometime later, getting the words wrong Wasting the meaning And losing the rhyme Nauseous adrenalin Like breakin' up a dogfight Like a deer in the headlights Frozen in real time I'm losing my mind It's time to move on...
Instrumental chorus
It's time to move on...

A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the charts The sky was the limit His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single" The future was wide open Into the great wide open...
