Off he goes - live at benaroya hall Pearl Jam

Know a man
His face seems pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike
In the strongest winds

So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving
Much too fast

Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taking for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes

There he goes...

He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same
Up on the rack

We go way back

I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken
Where I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes
