Highly Disgraced

Some want a lift up to heaven
Borne aloft on silent truths
But your time is a gift worth giving
And that's just what you do
So you're rollin'
You're rollin'
From one bar to the next
Thoughts stolen
Never knowing
What we've come to expect
From the highly disgraced
Round here the buck stops with no-one
It makes its tired way round
All our hopes they add up to nothing
They never make a sound
Still we're rollin'
We're rollin'
From one town to the next
Thoughts stolen
Never knowing
What we've come to expect
From the highly disgraced

Bonnie & Clyde

We're living east of Eden
Cut off all our ties
Got pushed by friends down these dead ends
So we found a compromise
We're getting back to nature
Reaching for the sky
And your desires are the copper wires
That set me alight
Our conversations are running dry
You don't need a reason to throw me a line
They frown & say we act like Bonnie & Clyde
Well they can eat their words & shut their eyes
'Cause I would never let you down
Even when we're in the wrong
We made our choice & took a stand
For worse or better
We'll pick a destination
Somewhere they'll never find
And that aside I have to say
I don't have much in mind
We'll blaze a constellation
A trail across the sky
We'll shine until we burn away
It's you & me for life
Our conversations are running dry
You don't need a reason to drop me a line
They laugh & say we act like Bonnie & Clyde
Well they can eat their words & shut their eyes
'Cause I would never let you down
Even when we're in the wrong
We made our choice & took a stand
For worse or better

The Longshot
05:03
|
|

Calculating the ways that you trip over your shoes
In the depths of your blues you find ways to correct your steps
Throw ideas to the board and you pray hard that one sticks
Ignoring the quick fix in favour of something that's truly real
When your reach exceeds your grasp don't you let go
Passing buckets to form a chain why you don't know
Time expanding for me down the track of my one choice
I hear my own voice dispelling the rumours that snipe away
Everyone's tempted to go for the longshot

Across the Wire

I took a picture for you
I watched all the colours explode in your hand
You kept the memory buried deep in the sand
A great emancipation
No longer bound by the thoughts in your head
You run through the city far from your bed
So you tune in the station and shut all your doors
And be shorn of your fair weather friends
The ones truly connected to you are out there
Across the wire
You showed me your journal
Profiles and pages too many to count
Laid out before me I set them down
I sent you a message
I called out your name and it flew through the dark
Electromagnetic a fading spark
So get yourself connected and ignore the fakes
And be sure that you're not on your own
Those who really can understand you are just waiting
Across the wire
So don't be mistaken you're only just waking
To see it all merge into one
Reach out through the airwaves and I'll be beside you
Across the wire
