60 Second Distance Run - Field Report

You got that middle-distant look again

Fill the unrelenting minute

Or a sixty second distance run

Get out while you can get it

There was the weekend of the wedding

And I know somewhere there’s video tape

Can you feel the river rising

For the camera and for the rage

Was I the only one?

Was I the only one?

The only ones I seem to love

Scan the sky with hawk’s eyes

Find something they gotta kill

To find something to get startled by

Gonna teach my wings to work again

On a sixty second distance run

'Cause everyone that holds me close

They’re starting fires that block the sun

Was I the only one?

Was I the only one?

How is it that the busiest streets

Are usually the quietest space?

And that quiet corner place

It only kept us awake

I’ve been trying every angle

I’ve been searching through the video tape

Without a sixty second distance run

Could anyone have seen the change?
