Traveling On
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.
Boys in blazers, union labor
Last of a life boat to get on
Leering drivers, weary lifers
And I wanna know is when we go on
Because we're traveling on
Sold for a song; we're traveling on
And it won't be long, until we're traveling on
Street-side smokers, holy rollers
Find me a toilet to die on
L.a., london, barely funded
Give me a wheel to lend I'll ride on, ride on, ride on
Because we're traveling on
Sold for a song; we're traveling on
And it won't be long, until we're traveling on
We're traveling on
Fighter baseline, frozen facetime
Meet the new dauphin in toulouse
No one knows you, nations loathe you
Please let me know when I should recuse myself if I choose
But we're traveling on
Sold for a song; we're traveling on
And it won't be long, until we're traveling on
Sold for a song; we're traveling on
And it won't be long, until we're traveling on
We're traveling on
We're traveling on
