We went were the roads ran out, into the deep Days like lost dogs, raw boned, stony feet The motorways were pinballs and ribbons They were heartaches and visions On the Road to Avalon On the Road to Avalon Slept in towns, where the songs had blown away Woke in cities, where the earth and sky had come away We are the names that came before you Now we’re just drifters barricaded at the border Sharing whispers in the shadows painting pictures on our gallows You were mine, I was yours, what we wanted was the only law, on the road, to Avalon On The Road To Avalon On The Road To Avalon

Pale skinned winkle picker Nihilistic pill trippier Aesthetic apathetic High and mighty Aphrodite Another primadonna playboy Got you paying for a new toy Pretty as a cupcake Cheap a deep fake, cmon Another waster in the rhinestone drop zone , another click click domino Another lBuzz kill PBR’ing cheap thrill. Play it out domino. Populism politics You be my princess til you’re made sick You bought it all on credit Cos you can’t push the product if your looking like you made it ice melting on the frontier Here the Jets clicking into gear Pushed out of plastic Comfy and elastic c’mon They Never put you on the guestlist You’re mama's little chauvinists Like a Motorola flip phone Updated outgrown Play it out domino

You said nothing matters if it doesn’t hurt Who cares if it’s diamonds or if it’s dragged through the dirt? If we’re not burning Lord then I’m not feeling “How can they call this living when they’re not singing? Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir We’re just two lost souls running to the wire We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain Tonight, we’ll get a little higher In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page The birds are waking and the day is lazy We’re The King and Queen of Nowhere we pin our hopes on a maybe So wake up now baby, you know our dates are set In another moment they’ll remember, in another moment we're just gonna forget Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir We’re just two lost souls running to the wire We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain Tonight, we’ll get a little higher In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page So roll them bones, let them take what they want Can't you hear them calling? So throw that stone, we’ll just see where it lands I can feel feel it falling Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir We’re just two lost souls running to the wire We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain Tonight, we’ll get a little higher In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page

All those sad songs That shine like diamonds Whisper and they keep you all alone In the stillness You begin to rust A heartbeat ain’t enough Without some love The night keeps calling The sky keeps falling And I keep raining for you Now your lips Are paper thin and my name became tattoo Neath your skin But it’ll fade out in time Far beyond the shadow and the shine

Little Liars 03:55
Half the man, half the madness Polaroid pictures and a radio darkness This room couldn’t hold our dreams And we won’t be tied to the things we leave Little liars and news print fires We’ll watch them burn x 2 I left my life, I let them go Headed out to a destination still unknown Hanging on my breath by your teeth My mind starts to ramble like those wild geese Little liars and news print fires We’ll watch them burn x 2 Rolling on to another old sun Kissing hot breath out of cool lungs Wild hearts and lawless blood Run so deep in American mud Little liars and news print fires We’ll watch them burn x 2

Deep River 04:29
You were a cannonball, moving on the water I was the moon and the river and the rapture Mississippi Cavaliers crashing through the Mayqueens chandeliers We left the river, headed to the city Two organ grinders, looking for a monkey Tombstone hearts and Blacksmith hands Aching just for being there on dry land Clattering stone and rattling bones, stepping to the beat of an old acetone You and me my baby blue, deep in the jungle without our shoes When you get to the City, you gotta get a job And you’ll walk those streets until your feet throb White shirts, clean teeth, combed hair, tie, You'll still be at the bottom of the welfare line I tried to be a weatherman tried to mix drinks Took out loans to learn to think Pink pills fizzing up my brain, I stayed unemployed as the falling rain Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues Mr banks said he could help but I could see his teeth Clicking like a tiger before fresh meat Compound interest, FDIC, nothing in this town ever came for free I soon missed the wind, blowing through the rushes I soon missed the river song riding like a Duchess Lost in someone else’s prayer, trapped between the cold earth and the air Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues In my blood I could feel the tide, pulling through me like your presidents pride I knew it was time to leave, smell of the water coming through the trees So we drank to the zealots, apostles and dreamers, that were poor as the patriots and parking meters And flowed like a river made of gasoline and all of the ice down in New Orleans There was no message I could find, no epiphany calling from the clear divine Just broken screens and flying machines, in pieces on the ground Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues You were a cannonball moving across the water I was the moon and the river and the rapture Mississippi cavaliers crashing through the May queen chandeliers

Heartworn traders, hungry players, strung out on the wire. There was nothing I could promise except these spinning tyres. Cos there’s a highway through my chest, And it keeps rolling on, and It will carry, pull us through ,and keep you on a song You've seen me crying, you seen me laughing, seen me out of control We’re One of a thousand stories lost out on this road ooooo ooo Cutting trails, lifting sails, across the great divide. Counting change, switching lanes, you always by my side sounds of sirens, never silenced, this town doesn’t know that we’re here Ring the doorbell, late night hotel, keep the cash box near

String lights and dog fights out on the Messa It’s prom night in junction, it’s cut out in letters Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust Burn on the frontier, like you knew they must Jet planes shine above the town Calico colours coming down Calico colours coming down Valentines and cheap wine, spin in silhouettes Marilyn and Cobain sharing back door cigarettes Sweethearts and cowboys are twisting up like sparks Fathers in their kitchens, drinking whiskey in the dark Hear that barking lonely hound Calico colours coming down Calico colours coming down Collect up your kisses, the hall begins to clear Cinderella on the dance floor in a swimming pool of tears Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust The emptiness of those hills and that deep dark hush Someone will have to wear the crown Calico colours coming down Calico colours coming down

I’ve gotta learn to love you better I’ve got to learn to love you better When your dark mind is reeling, and I'm the closest reason When your light is gone and your dreams stand still I’ll be the world, twisting to your will I’ve got to learn to love you better I’ve got to learn to love you better You know my hearts a lonely hunter but you came to me like thunder Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye You be the moon I’ll be the water, I’m the wine and you're the altar When we’re both blind to the things we could have When you're broken and sad, and I'm lost in my madness I’ve got to learn to love you better I’ve got to learn to love you better You know my hearts a lonely hunter and you came to me like thunder Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye x2 I’ve got to learn to love you better I’ve got to learn to love you better x2 You know my hearts a lonely hunter and you came to me like thunder (Sometimes) i feel I'm going under but, when treat me like a stranger But then we're lost in one another, and I need you like a hunger Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye x2

We stop for an hour and move for five Smoke our smokes just to calm the mind Ragged colours in window A hundred miles to the medicine show Outside the line we’ll be coughing up sparks Wasting daylight until the music starts From Atlanta to the Bowery slums We’ve seen a hundred hearts lost and won May the road rise to meet us Let the wind know our names Let it us roll across the water and those endless thirsty plains Let the road rise to meet us, watch it shiver and shine we’ll learn to burn together like whiskey chasing wine No money just a case of songs And your words just to pull me along Ears ringing like a telephone Singing love Letters to the red light zone Rattling bottles in a hire car Strung out like a steel guitar We keep the night just ahead of us And Albert’s got a crush on a three beer rush

I'm a big cat baby, out on the mountainside I’m a big cat baby, out on the mountainside You gonna hear me moan through the mountains Until I get satisfied See my eyes baby, shine like daggers in the the dark See my eyes baby, shine like daggers in the dark You think can run but boy you know that you’ve been marked You won’t walk with me baby, I’m gonna learn to prowl You won’t sing with me, I’m gonna learn how to howl But your heart will beat for me baby, and we're gonna cut through this crowd I’m a mountain lion baby, out in the kingdom of the lamb I’m a mountain lion baby, out in the kingdom of the lamb Oh your gonna be my queen , and all this gonna be our land

Were all those years just wasted time? Staying on my mind like yesterday’s wine You placed a hand and turned a cheek That carnival of ashes out on the street Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true, You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you. Just because I want you, I can't push it through. You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe y The air turned dry the days got still I’m Thinking about you against my will You’re Playing out like an endless song Like the last fading star that Tries to shine on Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true, You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you. Just because I want you, I can't push it through. You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you Soft as glass and black as mud My love for you never felt as it should You kept the gold and my precious things But you left me the rain clouds and these heavy wings Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true, You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you. Just because I want you, I can't push it through. You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you

I can feel the dark winds, whispering, mmm My hands as cold as the rivers, through the mountain, mmmm I can hear the timber talking see your words shiver in the silver of the fountain Oh my my, is it time Has my midnight? Midnight begunn Has my midnight? Midnight begun Let our tears, Flow on, to forever mmmm Just lay your body down, we’ll fold like feathers mmmmm I can hear the timber talking see your words shiverin the silver of the fountain Oh my my, is it time Just tonight strike your light in this old ghost town Just tonight strike your light let It all fall down Has my midnight? Midnight begun? Has my midnight? Midnight begun
