You don’t care where I come from
Or where I run run run run
You don’t care where I come from
Or where I run run run run from

Crooked Smile

I’m gonna turn you upside down
I’ve come too far to turn around
I’m gonna call you day and night
I’m gonna cause you quite a fright
It’s too late to say goodbye
I’m gonna miss your crocked smile
I think of you mile after mile
I’m gonna travel across state line
Never gonna pay these speeding fines
It’s too late to walk away
Can’t get away fast enough
I wish that I could just forget
And live my life without regret
I know that I should stand up tall
But form this height it is far to fall
It’s too late; you’ve had your time
I saw that this was on the cards
But life without you is too hard
I’ve had to leave you for a while
But it’s hard I’ll miss that crooked smile
It’s too late; you’ve had your chance
Can’t get away fast enough

The desert sun is beating down
Who knew that silence was a sound
It’s just my thoughts and the road
It knows my future I am told
Nothing but the road ahead
The horizon in the distance
The war that battles in my mind
I’m searching hard for what I’ll fine
Driving down
The Loneliest Road in America
That I made it this far
Is really a miracle
See a hitchhiker
Standing with all he possessed
Wind down the window
Saws his name is Loneliness
He’s gald that someone stopped
To pick him up at last
I say “where you headed”
He say “Vegas”
Driving down
The Loneliest Road in America
That I made it this far
Is really a miracle
Says he is a drifter
And a shapeshifter
Sent back to Earth
To fight the forces of good
I look in his eyes
He says he reads minds
What went down was a muthfuckin pity
But we’ll start it up again
When we hit Sin City
Driving down
The Loneliest Road in America
That I made it this far
Is really a miracle

My Travelling Companion

My travelling companion is Loneliness
His excess baggage is slowing us
Hopefully when we get to Vegas
That’s when he will depart us
I’ll hit the strip
He’ll hit downtown
I’m sick of him
Being around
Tonight’s the night
To set things right
I’ll see the last of him
My companion
Loneliness can’t contain us
Like everyone can’t be famous
He tried so hard to break us
He will never mistake us
I’ll hit the strip
He’ll hit downtown
I’m sick of him
Being around
Tonight’s the night
To set things right
I’ll see the last of him
My companion
And I know it’s a trick of my own mind
And I want to leave it all behind

Every day – I fell in love
Every day – I did it tough
Every day – I live and learn
Every day – I take my turn
Every day – When we’re apart
Every day – You broke my heart
Every day – I’m missing you
Every day – I start a new
There is no place for me to hide
Me to hide
Standing here
Standing up
Standing in
The Great Divide
Every day – I wake up tired
Every day – I hear your lies
Every day – I see you’re bored
Every day – Like days before
Every day – I hear your voice
Every day – It is white noise
Every day – I’m making tracks
Every day – I can’t go back
There is no place for me to hide
Me to hide
Standing here
Standing up
Standing in
The Great Divide
Every day – I hear your voice
Every day – It is white noise
Every day – I’m making tracks
Every day – I can’t go back
I can’t go back
I CAN’T GO BACK!
There is no place for me to hide
Me to hide
Standing here
Standing up
Standing in
The Great Divide

Sunset, NV

Driving on the I-95
Through Clark County, NV
Drove thru a ghost town called Sunset
Where there is only
You and me
Walked through the ghost town
My travelling companion and me
When did the sun go down
On Sunset
On Sunset, NV
We posed by an old red post-box
Where Sunset letters were sent
No one has got much from their lately
From the ghost town of Sunset
We throw rocks at all the windows
That have all been boarded up
The tavern sign still hangs there
But long gone are those it corrupt
The dreams are mined out
Down by the old ash tree
When did the sun go down
On Sunset
On Sunset, NV
It was eerily so still
So we left it in its dust
I’m sure that ghost town held stories
But we left it in a rush
The silence is louder
Than the city is noisy
When did the sun go down
On Sunset
On Sunset
On Sunset, NV

City Lights

Headed west through the desert yeah
Nothing here for miles around
We drive by burnt out cars
In the desert sky
We see so many stars
Two vagabonds, barely hanging on
Till we see the city light
See the city light
City lights
See the lights
See the city light
Pillar of light breaks through the clouds
Leads us right into their house
Where they always win
But I won’t give in
It’s time to start again
Now I am here I won’t be broken
Till we see the city light
See the city light
City lights
See the lights
See the city light
