I've been away.
  I've been down on my luck . . .
  And I almost died . . .
  I was away and I called home
  I was on a highway phone
  And I did not see
  That a speeding car had come at me
  A speeding car which came at me
  I want another daydream
  I want another slacker life
  I almost died today
  But indeed I walked away
    I am ignorant too
  And just as flaky as you
  I want another daydream
  I want another slacker life
  I almost died today
  But indeed I walked away
    Sometimes it's hard to see
  Why indeed we should all
  Love it here?
  I was stranded on the road
  And I almost froze
  When I tried to sleep
  My girlfriend's voice on the phone
  It was dark I was alone
  And I did not see a speeding car that came at me
  The speeding car which came at me
    I want another daydream
  I want another slacker life
