Radical Face -
Not Given Lightly (A Tribute to the Giant Golden Book of New Zealand`s Alternative Music Scene)
Wandering
I fall asleep in a comforting mess
The room is yellow and the windows the deadest white
I smell the ghost of your dinner
And the space heater is glowing like a miniature gate to hell
I hear the dogs as I dress myself
Open a letter on the back of a paper plate
It tells me that I'm gone now
And I'm sorry if I don't make it back
Well, I know it's a good life
Yeah, I know it's a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
I was made to keep moving
And I know it's a long shot
It was always a long shot
But I'm trusting my aim now
Yeah I'm trusting my aim
And I know it's a good life
Yeah, I know it's a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
I've gotta stay on the move
I had a dream but I called it a plan
A stream of hopes that I figured would serve me well
But then the dream turned sour
Sometimes your dreams aren't the comfort you want them to be
Now I'm broke and my luck's run out
My new acquaintances will never be someone to trust
My house is now a grave yard
It's hard to fall asleep with no one watching your back
Well you've got my name now it's all the same
It don't mean much but you can have it all
And I sold my heart for another star
I had my face burnt I showed it all
Now the price is a big one
Well, I had me a good life
Yeah, I had me a good life
But I had to keep moving
Oh I was made to keep moving
And I know that I messed up
Yeah, I know that I messed up
But I still gotta keep moving
Yeah, I still gotta move
Though my mind is made up
And I'm no different now, but
I follow the questions because I'm bored with the answers
I'm bored with the answers
Sure I missed a lot
And I'm no better off but,
Sitting idle aint a thing I was built for
I gotta keep moving
Gotta stay on the move, gotta...
Well, I had me a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
Well, I had me a good life
But I've still gotta keep moving
The room is yellow and the windows the deadest white
I smell the ghost of your dinner
And the space heater is glowing like a miniature gate to hell
I hear the dogs as I dress myself
Open a letter on the back of a paper plate
It tells me that I'm gone now
And I'm sorry if I don't make it back
Well, I know it's a good life
Yeah, I know it's a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
I was made to keep moving
And I know it's a long shot
It was always a long shot
But I'm trusting my aim now
Yeah I'm trusting my aim
And I know it's a good life
Yeah, I know it's a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
I've gotta stay on the move
I had a dream but I called it a plan
A stream of hopes that I figured would serve me well
But then the dream turned sour
Sometimes your dreams aren't the comfort you want them to be
Now I'm broke and my luck's run out
My new acquaintances will never be someone to trust
My house is now a grave yard
It's hard to fall asleep with no one watching your back
Well you've got my name now it's all the same
It don't mean much but you can have it all
And I sold my heart for another star
I had my face burnt I showed it all
Now the price is a big one
Well, I had me a good life
Yeah, I had me a good life
But I had to keep moving
Oh I was made to keep moving
And I know that I messed up
Yeah, I know that I messed up
But I still gotta keep moving
Yeah, I still gotta move
Though my mind is made up
And I'm no different now, but
I follow the questions because I'm bored with the answers
I'm bored with the answers
Sure I missed a lot
And I'm no better off but,
Sitting idle aint a thing I was built for
I gotta keep moving
Gotta stay on the move, gotta...
Well, I had me a good life
But I've gotta keep moving
Well, I had me a good life
But I've still gotta keep moving
