Lyrics
Roman Son
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.
Turn the engine off
(flip it into neutral)
barrelling down duncan hill
leading to a tunnel
(like a laughing tiger)
swallowing the night and daylight
which keeps us alive
keep your car in drive
[chorus:]
yeah did you throw it away now?
i tried to stop you
but did you go your own way now?
and at the tunnel's end
(you will find a clearing)
beneath the mountains open wide
where we'll live like sheep
very well fed
and well trained
to walk in single file
walk for miles and miles
[chorus]
i don't remember how we got to where we are
i don't remember how we got to where we are
(must have blacked out how'd we get this far?)
and i don't remember how we got to where we are
