lyrics

Its a little late in the night
To be singing songs of innocence
With all your limbs stretched out upon the
bar top on this side of town

Its a little late in the night
To be handing out your promises like
Golden threads tied round your neck and
Braced against the rising tide

You could call me crazy
Like wheel that spins
Like a time machine
So much time spent in history
Trying to prove that we exist
When the world around you
Constantly challenges
Your will to live

Its a little late in the night
To be dancing with the rushing wind
The sound of it carries you through
Backroads of your slip-shod town

Its a little late in the night
To be banking on the rising moon
The lovers’ tune, you hear it through the
Windows of your hotel room

You could call me crazy
Like a wheel that spins
Like a time machine
So much time spent in history
Trying to prove that we exist
When the world around you
Constantly challenges
Your will to live

You could call me broken
But my blood is red
And I made a home in the
Backwoods of my drunken head
Singing secrets to the dawn
With a torch in hand
And I can raise my head
As high as any man
