Diesel or Poetry

You got to go
Far away
To see everything
In its place
You got to hide
In the crowd
To feel the spotlight
On your face
Everybody craves
Eating apples in the shade
Sipping ice-cold lemonade
Meanwhile the world is turning
Meanwhile the world is burning down
Everything fades
But not to grey
Just a sepia
From another age
Everything's lost
It's never found
As the sun comes up
The moon slides down

Everybody craves
Eating apples in the shade
Sipping ice-cold lemonade
Meanwhile the world is turning
Meanwhile the world is burning down

What do you want?
Diesel or poetry?
You and I
We have the same dreams
What do you want?
Diesel or poetry?
And a long life
And a long life
I guess I know
The chance of it happening
Is about the same as a child
Crying crocodile tears
We are just sleepers
Stretching and yawning
Snagging our heartstrings
On a nail on the wall
You got to go far away
To see everything in its place
You got to hide in the crowd
To feel the spotlight
On your face
And everybody craves
Eating apples in the shade
Sipping ice-cold lemonade
Meanwhile the world is turning
Meanwhile the world is burning down
