The Wheel

Hot day workin on the road, we were diggin for gold,
running out of rope,
getting chased through a house of mirrors, makin too many errors,
wearing all the wrong colours,
headin down a rocky path, barefoot on glass,
we can’t get back,
caffeine gone straight to the brain, just another day,
where I was gone again,
I’m gonna go for a drive, there aint nothing behind,
got nothing to fear, don’t even need to steer,
Getting, lost behind the wheel,
if it means forever, I’ll take the deal,
my hands and feet were bound,
when they drove me out of town,
(turnin, turnin, turnin)
Hot day workin under the sun, we were comin undone,
one by one,
got broken shovel, gone lookin for trouble,
people living in bubbles,
clock face don’t seem to change, I’m suffocating
masquerading,
I see faces, different races,
sharing consequences,
I would kill the lights, to see it burning bright,
running out of air, we knew we could be anywhere,
Getting, lost behind the wheel,
if it means forever, I’ll take the deal,
my hands and feet were bound
when they drove me out of town,
(turnin, turnin, turnin)
(turnin, turnin, turnin)
And the sky was torn apart, the rain refused to fall,
nothing was ever found,
we buried our souls in the ground, no one heard a sound,
we drove over the edge, but we never went down,
Lost behind the wheel,
it’s now forever, and it’s a deal,
my hands and feet were bound,
when they drove me out of town,
Lost behind the wheel,
it don’t matter if it aint real,
(turnin, turnin, turnin)
(turnin, turnin, turnin)

Whilst Setting the Alarm

We fell out of the car,
I knew we should’ve walked,
We crawled up to the door,
I didn’t know if we were alive anymore,
There’d been a good hard rain,
away, away with the hurricane,
and then there was a flash,
and I knew that we were going back,
That day we were broken,
and now we are mended,
we never knew what was stolen,
whilst setting the alarm,
Out on the other side,
When I opened my eyes,
I looked but I couldn’t find it,
though I could hear it cryin,
And we fell out of the car,
yeah I said we should’ve walked,
We crawled up to the door,
and I didn’t know if we were alive anymore,
That day we were broken,
and now we are mended,
we never knew what was stolen,
whilst setting the alarm,
That day we were broken,
and now we are mended,
we never knew what was stolen,
whilst setting the alarm,

Burning the Evidence

I’m feelin dizzy and I think I’ve driven way too far,
just look at the state of my car,
the sun is like a disco ball,
we’re headin for a water fall,
there’s darkness surrounding me,
and ashes at my feet,
I wanna go somewhere new,
cut all of this grief loose,
Now we’re chasing down a hurricane,
I don’t know if it has a name,
and the wind will have us on our knees,
trying to find the air to breathe,
faceless in a sea of black,
as real as a heart attack
Where are we, travelling wherever the wind blows,
looking for the end of a rainbow,
take a little gold for ourselves,
so we can all get off of this shelf,
the room is spinning round and round,
I need to feel that I’ve been found,
and we can all go down to the sea,
and lose all this despondency,
Now we’re chasing down a hurricane,
I don’t know if it has a name,
and the wind will have us on our knees,
trying to find the air to breathe,
faceless in a sea of black,
as real as a heart attack
Now we’re chasing down a hurricane,
I don’t know if it has a name,
and the wind will have us on our knees,
trying to find the air to breathe,
and everything that was has gone,
I don’t know right from wrong,
faceless in a sea of black,
as real as a heart attack,
Hang on, we wait as the fires burn red,
burnin all the evidence,
of what we’re all leaving behind
the times I could’ve lost my mind,
Dancing as the fires burn red,
before it gets cold again,
do you think that it’ll be the same,
or will we never be here again?

Burn all the clocks, so we can live in the now,
Turn another page, and we can figure it out,
It could be a movie scene, but it’s kinda confusing,
Turn up the noise, beautiful noise,
we’re gonna have to face it,
it looks like it’s changing,
It could be a movie scene, and it’s kinda confusing,
it’s such a beautiful disease,
Another chapter in the dream,
It’s just like a movie scene,
Another chapter in the dream,
It’s just like a movie scene,
We’re off on the run, we’re shot out a gun,
my ear’s to the ground,
and we’re chasing it down,
And it’s such a beautiful disease,
Another chapter in the dream,
It’s just like a movie scene,
Another chapter in the dream,
It’s just like a movie scene,
Burn all the clocks, so we can live in the now,
write another page, and we can figure it out,
It could be a movie scene, and it’s kinda confusing,
It’s such a beautiful disease,
Another chapter in the dream,
It’s just like a movie scene,
there’s nothing in between,
another chapter in the dream,
another chapter in the dream,
