Lyrics
Lifers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They're relaxed dust in our eyes
Or in the blur of enraged city lights
My heart's a world of old woes
Some I recall and some that I don't
Only way out's the way back in
I remain on highways and small stages
That'll be the dream for me
See my friends on jet planes and big stages
And I wave and they'll wave back
It's all I ask, it's all I ask
I wake up ten years older
Same war, the same fallen soldiers
Where we've been is still where we had it
Same place with a different name
And the way out's the way back in
I remain on highways and small stages
And that'll be the dream for me
See my friends on jet planes and big stages
And I'll wave, and they'll wave back
It's all I ask, it's all I ask
The only way out's the way back in.
