The future I know not, The present I have not, All I have got, Is what is gone; I'm living in the past
The past is my country, The past is my home, The past is where I've been, The past is where I'll go; I'm living in the past
Things pass by me, Kings come and go, Ideas spark and blow, Humanity gets too rogue; I'm living in the past
No need for all that's old, They get thrown out to the cold, No need for the aged, No need for me I bet; But I'm living in the past
I've been distracted all my life, Ran like crazy horse whose hide caught fire, My ghost is riding thru the starless skies, Spreading decay 'n' leavin' funerals behind; I'm living in the past
I owe my past, He is my lonely guide, The first and the last, The one that never dies; I'm truly living in that past
Riding the years of my life, Riding backward thru the cries, Killing the seeds of wrong, Wherever they're on the rise; I'm living in the past
Passing years that went by, The present is a far cry, I meet myself all the while, I'm the start, the end and the how; I'm living in the past, boy, leaving you right now!
