Left his day job behind
Every fool dies trying to give his back
Kicked around on the burn
Like a child i scolded for broken toys
Can you help me to find
Nevada, california
The last thing i did
Was i tried to hold her
The station master is gone
I'm your lovesick cousin that never wins
First you twist then you turn
Your all lies as a mountain, dear passenger
Can you help me to find
Nevada, california
Can you help me to find
Nevada, california
The last thing i did
Was i tried to hold her
Nevada, california
Nevada, california
The station master is gone
Behind the lies you wonder
There lies a jewel
Could it be something's wrong
The love that won't talk to you but seven wins
Can you help me to find
Nevada, california
Can you help me to find
Nevada, california
Nevada, california
The last thing i did
Was i tried to hold her
