Backroads
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.
Saw things that the rat saw
And my eyes couldn't take them in
Just want to fall here silently
Into the arms of people I love
Under waiting stars as the ships come rolling in
But look at the way the faces turn
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird
But look at the way the faces turn
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird
So the power lines were leaning
And all was lost
Make a vow with the city lights
With your fingers crossed
You said I'd be a place and time
Said I'd be a man
Making eyes with a sea of lies
So you understand
That you're raping on my dreaming
And you're ruining my best made plans
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
But your head's gone
And it won't be long
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
But your head's gone
And it won't be long
So the sinners stopped and the villains turned
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
Let's meet the mountains and see what they heard
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
I Said, I'll be the sky and you be the bird
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
I Said, I'll be the sky and you be the bird
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
