Cars From The 70s

I drove cars that looked like
they came from the seventies
I saw hearts beating
inside the chests of my enemies
I've lost friends due to geographical
inconvenience
I've woke up mornings and thought to myself
'it makes no sense'
So when do we go?
When do we go home?
When do we know
that we are not alone?
I saw the future past and the present
it's all the same
We'll go to spaces and stay there
and give the place a name
We'll grow kids there and we'll
send them to school
It gets big there we'll decide it's
time to move
So when do we go?
When do we go home?
When do we know
that we are not alone?
I split my eyes open and left
the land of sleep
I get so tired I forgot what's
not to be weak
I sink through the couch and
into the sea
Drive through deserts in cars
from the seventies
So when do we go?
When do we go home?
When do we know
that we are not alone?
When do we go?
When do we go home?
When do we know
that we are not alone?

A friendly face is what
I'd like to see right now
Please come home
If space is a holy place
are you part of it now?
Please come home
And there's nothing left
for you to learn there
And there's nothing you could
possibly earn there
And the ground beneath my feet
feels at stake
Please come home
Have you read the news today
Did you see it on TV?
Please come home
I can never tell what's fake
and what's reality
Please come home
And there's nothing that you
should ever care about
And it won't be long
until there's no way out
When the world beneath your feet
begins to shake
Please come home

Further Farther

Further, farther
Would you rather?
It's always been the way
I can never give you
What I owe you
It's always in the way
If I'm honest
I'm on borrowed time
No matter what I say
I cannot be the man
That you needed
I've never been that way
In time everything will end
No reason to pretend
We did everything we could
but the priest could not be saved
Honest, I just
Know that you can
It's always been the way
I waited too long
To try to get on
I'm always in the way
You're not someone
That I expected
You've never been that way
I went to tell you
What I told you
It's always been the way
In time everything will end
No reason to pretend
We did everything we could
but the priest could not be saved
It's always been the way
Who went further?
What do you figure?

Goddamn

I'm tired of being tired
and tied to this life
when life is so full of
wasted time
Work from nine to five
for five sevenths of your life
and evening on the couch
then start again
Live for the weekend
when you'll get fucked up with your friends
and when sleepy Sunday ends
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Fuzzy little head
all filled with scambled eggs
a couple swollen eyes and
a sense of dread
Get up go to school
decades of being a fool
like a fish it's hard to breathe
once you're outside of that pool
Waiting for the end
when you can get on with your plans
but they will always change
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
And I miss being idealistic
it's so boring to be realistic
and you never get to stick it
to the man
Do what you are told
until you're withered and old
you used to be so bold
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn

Blue Tick
Twenty-four seven daily access
to my attention and mood
Just another constant distraction
when I'm just trying to make some food
If you want to hear my reaction
please can you wait in line?
Sorry you're not the main attraction
but I will get to you in time
I can't reply right now
I promise I'll reply later
Once I just work out how
To prove that I'm no hater
Drum my fingers onto the sofa
waiting for your call
And the minute is almost over
do you even care at all?
The fear is taking hold as
I'm staring at a blue tick
My stomach starts to unfold and
I'm feeling pretty sick
I can't reply right now
I promise I'll reply later
Once I just work out how
To prove that I'm no hater
I can't reply right now
I promise I'll reply later
Once I just work out how
To prove that I'm no hater
Things are less than they seem
But they come off much greater
I hope you know what I mean
I promise I'm no hater

Slumber

I don't know if I slept
But there's no night left
When the rhythm skips a beat
Everything unrest
Oh if you've got some time come see me
I do not mind at all
If you've got some time come see me
I wasn't doing anything anyway
What else can you do
When you've got too much to choose?
It's the same old same old story
The day long year long slumber
Oh if you've got some time come see me
I do not mind at all
If you've got some time come see me
I wasn't doing anything anyway
