[Verse 1]
Spent eighteen hours waiting for some space
I spent the same eighteen hours in the same old place
I'm on a road shaped like a figure eight
I'm going nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late

[Chorus]
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with an endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? (How have you, how have you)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I drove around for hours, I drove around for days
I drove around for months and years and never went no place
We're on a pass, we're on a pass
I stopped for gas, but where'd the place be
To pay for gas to drive around
Around the Interstate 8

[Chorus]
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with an endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? (How have you, how have you)
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with an endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? (How have you, how have you been?)
