lyrics

Long cold night gnawing at your bones,
but a distant feral howl calls you into the wild.
Home-cooked meals and two scared grown-ups
left back in the city by an ungrateful child.

Where is that you’re headed, now that roads are open wide?
Is it another city or the vast countryside?
You could try and tell, what tomorrow’s gonna bring,
or you could leave for the desert and sing.

Phony streets of suburban grime
get shaken by the fairytales of death and demise.
Scouting for food and shelter, reading your Helter Skelter,
going crazy searching for a message in the lies, now.

How are you coping with the change of scenery?
Tell me, who’s gonna suicide watch you now?
There’s a thousand ways to reach the body negative,
but who would really know how?

Where is that you’re headed, now that roads are open wide?
Is it another city or the vast countryside?
You could try and tell, what tomorrow’s gonna bring,
or you could leave for the desert and sing.
