Rancid - Black Derby Jacket lyrics

Album: Rancid (2000)

Books on Emerson
Books on Thoreau
But all I read was maps of the road
And I was three thousand miles away from you
All the while I was twenty-two

What do you do to know who you´re?
The best way for me to drop out on tour
You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
To secure the roll with your parents

I got a new perspective on you
All the good & bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
´Cause I got a new perspective on you

I never needed much, I never liked to loom
But a gesture can get me from across the room
The 1st night we talked till while the sun caught up
Transparent people melting all around us

You left in a plane, I left in a van
Played nightclub house-parties & auditoriums
Saw Germany, England, Italy with my band
I know you better than your new friends

I got a new perspective on you
All the good & bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
´Cause I got a new perspective on you

Ford Econdlane September ´93
Driving 10 hours till my eyes are blurry
3 packs of Winstons & a bag of seeds
Tapes of "x" & a thermos of coffee
6 weeks on & 10 days off
Then I go back on the road for another show

This is all that I have ever done
Girl I got nothing to fall back on
But I got a new perspective on you
All of the good & bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
´Cause I got a new perspective on you
