I'm good to go and I'm going nowhere fast It could be worse, I could be taking you there with me I'm good to go, but it looks like I'm still on my own I'm good to go for something golden Though the motions I've been going through have failed I'm coasting on potential towards a wall at a hundred miles an hour When I say Two more weeks, my foot is in the door I can't sleep in the wake of Saturday Saturday, when these open doors were open ended Pete and I attacked the Lost Astoria With promise and precision and mess of youthful innocence I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived more than an hour When I say Two more weeks, my foot is in the door I can't sleep in the wake of Saturday Saturday, when these open doors were open ended Saturday, when these open doors were open ended I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived Two more weeks, my foot is in the door Me and Pete in the wake of Saturday Saturday, when these open doors were open ended Saturday, when these open doors were open ended Saturday Saturday
