Continental motion certainty
The merciful wheels
Where the living are living
On solvents and ashes
Time chain of loneliness
Half tone rebellions
Nomadic upturns and lights
The skeleton key turns the night
Antiheroes to follow too
Bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away
Gonna find a jukebox of steel
A still life with a bottle
A newspaper and a glass
The carrot dangles and the dance goes on
The bitters circle the drain
Emancipate the commonplace
Ride high the relief roads
Of nightfall and enchanted ends
Revelry in borrowed clothes
Antiheroes to follow too
Bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away
Gonna find a jukebox of steel
The merciful wheels
Where the living are living
On solvents and ashes
Time chain of loneliness
Half tone rebellions
Nomadic upturns and lights
The skeleton key turns the night
Antiheroes to follow too
Bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away
Gonna find a jukebox of steel
A still life with a bottle
A newspaper and a glass
The carrot dangles and the dance goes on
The bitters circle the drain
Emancipate the commonplace
Ride high the relief roads
Of nightfall and enchanted ends
Revelry in borrowed clothes
Antiheroes to follow too
Bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away
Gonna find a jukebox of steel
