We could drive there
arrive there
be alive there
but your truck's broke down
you're nowhere bound
will never leave this town

But if it won't be you
it probably won't be me

We capered burnt a
candle to the taper
tonight we'll swim in the river
kiss and shiver
were we ever inspired
just for a moment
or is this our life?
slackness in blackness

If that's the way we are
no trick, no coins, no stars
we need to stray

Lifelong
feeling we're wrong
to still be hanging around
our old hunting ground
We could go far
thanking ours stars
that the viaduct broke
or we'd never have spoken
by now
can't you see I'm trying to tell you
we paid our dues

We could go far
thanking ours stars
that the viaduct broke
or we'd never have spoken
Lifelong
feeling we're wrong
to still be hanging around
our old hunting ground
(repeat)
