lyrics

Send a message by fax or pigeon
I'm heading out on the road to start a new religion
Cause the world’s falling apart at the helm and the seams
So I'm passing my life off to my half baked dreams

And I've seen the future screaming out your name
And I don’t get excited cause I know it’ll just be the same

Early morning, the world’s fresh from the brawling
My head is aching, the grounds are shaking and icebergs are falling
So we spend all weekend thinking we’ll fix it all before light
Lord knows we’re gunna loose, and fall ten feet into the night

So watch out for my brain, it’s pouring on the road
dripping out of my ears and pouring all over your damn toes

Soldier on, put your hopes on me
Get your heart a little harder, and lose it to the breeze
We’ll lose our ragged souls, put the lights down low
and dance all night until the first train home

I'm getting old and just a little bit lonesome
And this world’s too cold and a little bit wholesome
Maybe I should start drinking in the morning, or head out on the run
But it’s hard enough trying to forget all the stupid things I've done

I can’t shake this feeling, why don’t you come out and try it
Cause it ain’t too long till I start me a ri-ri-riot.

Soldier on, put your credit on me
I’m a loose this rotten soul, head out on the sea
Hurricanes all night, shows the future ain’t bright
But get along, put high hopes on me
Not much longer to go, till trees fall down like leaves
Water levels are low, the worlds gunna lose don’t you know
So let’s forget all our troubles by the first train home

Come on through Lord send me a disease
The timings right for me
Ooh
In the morning I can’t see
I'm as useless as can be
But who cares, ooh not me

Forget about the world and its lurch to the right
Forget we’re gunna loose and go out dancing all night
Not much longer to go, till the future we know
Forget that we don’t love each other on the first train home
