If I’m so aware,
might think you’re great,
who is to care,
looking out alone,
new country on my face,
maybe too far gone,
a handful to share,
shaking out the freight,
if I'll find someone here,
heaven seems so cold,
when voices fade,
there’s no one at home,
in chains on a chair,
plan my great escape,
think of a timeshare,
a bird that's flown,
when shutters raise,
a time that feels old,
claws at my traces.

Don’t laugh at stupid fate,
if you're wearing red,
find gold in any grate,
it’s what you should do,
always stay ahead,
smile like a nincompoop,
know the latest rates,
even from your bed,
never rise too late,
find money for every school,
even without Cred,
you know what’s true,
OK you carry weight,
but nothing you can’t shed,
if it’s to your taste,
in a time of feuds,
settle with your head,
arrange a time of solitude,
say that you’re dead.

Forget the desperate news,
set a passage clear,
nothing else will do,
don’t carry heartache home,
it will cost you dear,
ditch that wretched ‘phone,
with nothing left to rue,
make your life a spear,
throw it at the blues,
if this makes you groan,
think what else you fear,
cancel out the tone,
there’ll be countless rules,
to prevent your vision near,
other golden domes unused,
just take another loan,
dab perfume on your ears,
on such paths we’re born,
taste food instead of gruel,
say prayers instead of tears,
no need to be cruel,
ride these battered years.

look at me girl,
don’t I look a fight,
are you scared,
your eyes dart away,
can't you see,
the fear of my shape,
sorry about the hurt,
your songs of the sea,
don’t really belong here,
I always pay too late,
You don’t need,
to make me feel great,
worry when I slur,
know the might have beens,
you really do care,
kneel down to pray,
for a kind of ease,
nights I'm off the rails,
do I need new teeth?

Watch out for trains,
your face like a stone,
you will show the way,
forget the time,
perhaps he waits to board,
you're not the worrying kind,
talking makes you say,
some songs are all your own,
others float away,
you won't take fright,
or hang from a rope,
with any state of mind,
rub against the grain,
he knows you’re not alone,
no one worries about freight,
these cargoes take a while,
the wind alone is blowing,
nothing changes deep inside,
just keep going

When you want to phone,
from that airport in Quatar,
don’t say love’s a joke,
it’s a trail we all use,
searching near and far,
as life circles 'round us,
Saints may reveal their bones,
some leave the door ajar,
passion never flies alone,
who needs a feud,
at the blue crowded bar,
to know what to do,
we aren’t going home,
anywhere’s too far,
we'll be right along,
not a very promising tone,
safe within your credit zone,
what’s inside us nearly gone,
hear the engines roar.

Don't pray in the rain,
or swear it’s the others,
that drive you to hate,
hope you can use,
costs you can smother,
find the best refuge,
see that portrait,
of a wounded trooper,
it carries your name,
whatever you choose,
don't curse or bother,
just pay up the dues,
whisky fires the brain,
live without trouble,
don’t run away,
brook a dawn curfew,
see yourself as a brother,
despite all the feuds,
make life your lover.
