Animus

Here it stops all around you
Its crystal clear i want you here
What's your name do you use it
Change your style there is no money in it
Let it go non-believer
You had your chance and nearly blew it
Put it down to experience
It's a trade off that you can't ignore
What's your name and number
Think i'll give you a call
It's alright its only talking
What little you've got make it count for a lot
Don't hang up don't be alarmed now
I summoned up the courage now so can you!
Don't be a saint just do your best now
Don't take it wide take it all in your stride
In my dreams it always seems
Like i'm running but i'm getting nowhere
In my car the stars are near not far
I can drive it anywhere i please
Here we are side by side
I don't mind which way this solitaire goes
Just say no
Say it isn't so
I still smell you on my fingers and thumb
It's an old folk song
About your martyrdom
Let your mother down
See the city die
