I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes

-and-

I certainly haven't been spreading myself around

I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb,

But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so

I can't stop changing all of the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go

-and-

Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice

He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as

They go fast from whence he came

-But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so

He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
