lyrics

Hide in the lights
The one million
Hunters for the life
For the life
Can't take the life

Hold me, stone hands
Live alive, live alive
And feel

Silver nights
All is fair
Come, my wild friend

Bringing out the dead
Its old nightmares
Breath
Live alive, live alive
Crack up the head

Time to change the money
To the road, to the horn
To ground

Claim your stake
Sing its song

Keep my brain on it

Ray gun fantasy
Dressing, quick cut
I
Have a line, have a line
Crack up the head
Bone to braindumb

All is fair

(I am here)
All is fair
(I am here)
I am here
(I am here)
Through the air

Plunge it out of our mouths
Pull a tongue, have a line
Say anything, anything
Through any air
Any air
Back up
from the quick cut
What we thought up
Never mind, it's in the air

Oh, what a dream
Oh, what night
Oh, what a journey
Oh, what a life
Oh, what am I?
