| [00:08.11] |
Shore to shore, got some land between |
| [00:10.23] |
Island life is living from a cup of broken queens |
| [00:12.64] |
Hit the jackpot rolling through a pipe dream in a knot |
| [00:18.06] |
And I'm missing what was pissing up the wall that I forgot |
| [00:22.60] |
I forgot, I forgot |
| [00:36.31] |
I am the masked rider, give me some grace |
| [00:40.02] |
You've never seen me and you don't know my face |
| [00:44.46] |
She was no it was cold, it was blue |
| [00:48.75] |
And it only happened despite me or you |
| [00:53.16] |
Me or you, me or you |
| [00:55.36] |
Smoking paper to the crimson flashing bars |
| [01:12.25] |
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream and passing strangers' cars |
| [01:14.82] |
Live in one room housing with a roof to meet the sky |
| [01:19.06] |
Spelling Jesus won't you please us 'cos you seem a damn nice guy |
| [01:23.23] |
Damn nice guy, damn nice guy |
| [01:36.50] |
We listened to passengers stamping old songs |
| [01:40.35] |
And we lose what's to lose when you haven't done wrong |
| [01:44.43] |
Drums too slow for a funeral beat |
| [01:49.95] |
No strumming of strings and no stamping of feet |
| [01:53.14] |
Of feet, of feet |
| [02:00.65] |
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me |
| [02:10.48] |
And it's not so hard to see you smoking fags and drinking tea |
| [02:14.73] |
It's the crummy lost at seasick with a floating on the waves |
| [02:19.59] |
To join the other flotsam with the ripped up queens and knaves |
| [02:23.59] |
Queens and knaves, queens and knaves |
| [02:36.62] |
There lies a lady, she's gone and she's gone |
| [02:40.99] |
She'll be a fine lady before too long |
| [02:45.28] |
But I hit her head and she finished her walking |
| [02:49.85] |
She shouldn't be dead, she was too busy talking |
| [02:53.90] |
Busy talking, busy talking |
| [03:03.57] |
They can fill a cup or two and still disturb the peace |
| [03:10.97] |
It's never made it all the way from shore to shore, from west to east |
| [03:15.75] |
I read that independence was a lightness in your step |
| [03:19.79] |
You walked away, I felt so heavy at the start of every day |
| [03:23.70] |
Every day, every day |
| [03:35.18] |
I've been waiting an hour and the bus hasn't come |
| [03:41.59] |
I've been cursing my God for the lack of the sun |
| [03:45.30] |
I've been ruined by destiny, lowered by fate |
| [03:50.40] |
And the upshot of this is I'm going to be late |
| [03:54.49] |
To be late, to be late |
