So we get Loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs And we set Out on Highway 35 to discover What's the plan? Sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather Where's the map?

Could it be a stranger night? The basements filled with kids. I don't know. Not beautiful like your songs, But all awkward and alone and don't belong. I saw a vacant seat. I sat down next to you. I thought of all the boys that wanted to. I laughed out loud. Do you hate this band too? I smiled a nervous smile, But I warmed up and acted cool standing by the stove. And your eyes made it strange and I felt out of place. Wondering if you... if you could take her place. You can't be sly. You can't forget her. You don't ask why. You can't forget her. Give up. What hope do you have to save her? Give up. What hope do you have to save her?

A million miles, common sense Can't hide the reader, can't fill the trench And what you hide is what I sold And when you're next to me, the feeling's cold Don't tread lightly In the book at the age of stills You make congress, congress Up in the mount on the sea of chills You went tireless, tireless I will walk alone Take toll, take time, and turn your face Dismount your wall, disband your state The tides of thought are blowing in the wind We'll stretch our seed to the beaches of the fins The path is clear, we'll keep clear on the side And make our beds in the beds of others Don't talk lightly In the book at the age of stills You make congress, congress Up in the mount on the sea of chills You went tireless, tireless I will walk alone Through miles and miles of bones When you touch me I'm alone When you tease me I'm alone In the battle of the bones In the battle of the bones I'll be up and coming on I'll be up and holding strong We'll be holding up for long We'll be holding up for long You'll be hiding from our deeds On the whole and on your knees You will hide your women Hide your women, hide your women In the book at the age of stills You make congress, congress Up in the mount on the sea of chills You went tireless, tireless You've been running in for the kill Look down to the south and onto the fields I've been a rider, I've been a shill For conquest, conquest I will walk alone Through miles and miles of bones We'll up our highness off our shyness Bring it to your home
