full speed ahead

it's full speed ahead
but I don't know how to do it
you say there's nothing to it
but for me it's step by step
it's backwards and forwards
and backwards again
I want destinations
allI get are dead ends
I'll see you up front 
I'll be back here instead
taking my detours
full speed ahead

there ain't no straight like
there's ain't no pirate map
and between you and me
all this philosophy 
is a heap of crap
you're just always searching
you're looking to go
on some spiritual journey
where the fuck, I don't know
the road I've been heading
the lights are all red
while you tail gate behind me
full speed ahead

yeah, it's full speed ahead
I've heard it all before
yada yada yada
forgive me if I snore
me, I've had my daydream
with disappointment attached
let's drink to forgotten failures
here's to me
down the hatch
you'll forget this tired face
but remember what I said
he who hopes has a price to pay
but anyway
full speed ahead
