[Verse 1]
Sun comes up on canyon stone
Another day I walk alone
Blueprints scattered in the sand
Another failure in my hands
Rocket skates and TNT
Every plan blows back on me
That bird just laughs and disappears
While I eat dust year after year
⸻
[Chorus]
Beep beep… there he goes again
Leavin’ me behind the bend
I try so hard, Lord knows it’s true
But I just can’t make it through
Every tunnel that I paint
Every bridge and every prank
Falls apart before I win
Still tomorrow I’ll try again
⸻
[Verse 2]
ACME boxes line the road
Filled with dreams about to explode
Catapults and giant springs
Funny how hope can hurt these things
Sometimes I wonder late at night
If the chase is all my life
If I caught him, then what’s left?
Just silence in the desert west
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I ain’t meant to win
Maybe trying is the thing
Still my heart kicks every time
I hear those tiny feet fly by
⸻
[Chorus]
Beep beep… there he goes again
Like a ghost upon the wind
And every bruise and every scar
Still can’t stop this stubborn heart
I fall off cliffs, I crash and burn
Still there’s somethin’ I never learn
No matter how the story ends
Tomorrow I’ll chase him again
⸻
[Bridge – emotional]
Everybody cheers the fast one
Nobody sees the pain
Of the fool who keeps on running
Even when he knows the game
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Beep beep… fading through the dusk
While another plan turns into dust
But somewhere deep inside my soul
The chase itself became the goal
So if you see me limpin’ slow
Through the desert all alone
Don’t pity me for tryin’ hard
At least I never stopped…
⸻
[Outro]
Tiny cloud on the horizon…
One more beep…
One more run…
One more dream…
