Bus Lines – …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
By
Always the bus ride seems to last forever Always the best of time we will always measure Stand on the painted step, red face and sunburnt neck Book open on your lap, page you soon forgot Pull away your thumb, realize what you’ve done Listen to a different song, march to a different drum That never comes…
Clouds across the plain, bus up north again Ghost within your head, the one you thought was dead Gaze out at the glass into a distant past Try to understand contradictions of the land Try to conjure back, broken but still intact Learning to become a marcher to a different drum
You’ll soon become one And if it’s gone It was the wrong one
Feels like something’s taking over us Feels like torture, get me off the bus
Rain from a different day, roads are wet again Stains from a different time, landmines deep inside Do you remember how the bus broke down for several hours Queue at the border check, guards breathing down our neck Can’t wait for the rain to end, can’t wait to be home again Never managed to keep track of that book and now it’s gone
Buy another one How long This go on
Feels like torture, get me off the bus Feels like something’s taking over us Feels like torture, get me off the bus Feels like something’s taking over us
Always the bus ride seems to last forever Always the best of time we will always treasure How long How long How long How long
Feels like something’s taking over us Feels like something’s taking over us
