is this for real
do we have time to kill
get on top of it
and ride it

into an endless sunset
in need of plastic surgery
to wipe the smile off your  face
forever is a mighty long time

you said you believe in the the believers
you said you believe
in how the bread was broken
and how the masses were awoken

you still see me
as someone who broke the deal
you still see me
as someone unreal

getting endless miles
in a car without an engine
freebasing
with your own brain as the drug

an the ghosts turn up as expected
some a bit like jesus
others like young charles mansons
the nightmare continues into the wee hours

as the crew gathers around
the campfire for the very last time
laughing and cheering
exchanging common stories

on common ground they still stand
on common ground they will part
on common ground they will know the time
every heartbeat will hit the ground and create their beat
