lyrics

we all turn the color of dirt
face and our hands pants and our skirts
earth gives way to an iron machine
wood turns to concrete oil to steam
think of the places that weve been
half of them im never going there agian
think of the ways that we got where we are
bicycles freight trains aeroplanes and cars
you look at me like i am a ghost
the spirit of someone that you used to know
but you forgot their face they left so long ago
its so startling to see starlight from 10000 years ago

Sittin outside starin in with longing, never understood at what they were laughing
so i threw a brick and the glass went crashing, sirens wailing lights are flashing

now i understand where i belong
outside of a broken window screaming a song
now i understand where i call home
running as fast as i can down a dead end road

so may your bottle never be empty
may your train never be late
livin life by a jug of whisky
here’s to a hole in every fence a hole in every fuckin cage
may your boxcars always be plentiful
to keep you out of the rain
remember to learn what a smile is worth
as we all turn the color the color of dirt

May your travels always be distant
but grounded you stay may yer head be yer home
vagabonds drifters and misfits
you look at the stars and youll never be alone
may your eyes never be jaded
your love never be lost
as we run across the world on a freight train rollin
i must thank you for what it is we have stolen back back
the most novel attempt at freedom is a night sky alone
