about

2nd track from the upcoming album

lyrics

Long haul flight, through the night
And tho' you'd arrived, your soul was still in motion
Somewhere out across the sea
Making it's way on back

Sparking frays on the tether
Darkened days how the weather can turn everything to mud
Trade the rainbow plume, raid your old fortune for the vile of blood

Getting tired of tagging along
Only one way to get through

Clear the stage of all the props
Kill the phase to all but one spot, centre and front

Come on and put your bent on it, a grand reinvention of the days you keep
Stand up and put your stake in the ground, some solid land you can camp out on
And set the dogs free

Come on and lean x3 ... into it and through it you'll see

I've seen your face all over the midnight screen
Making a show out of loneliness and fame
I've heard a hundred times I'd rather be laying low where nobody knows my name

Beads on the window as it rains, gathering up enough weight to race each other down
The old man swears he can't sing, dancing in the ring as a rodeo clown

Your native tongue, your mother sung you to sleep with
That ladders rung that you have clung on to, until now heedless
