In a rundown car
We drove so fast and far
From the city lights
Fading in the night
On that dusty road
We heard the roosters crow
Racing towards the morn
Away from insults and the scorn
You say we’re safe at any speed
You say my wounds won’t ever bleed
You say you’ve got just what I need
You say it’s all guaranteed
Trapped at home you thought
that what you sought
Was further on
As a platinum blonde
In my mind I asked
Were you triggered by your past?
Or was it just a random thought
The echo of a gunshot
You say we’re safe at any speed
You say my wounds won’t ever bleed
You say you’ve got just what I need
You say it’s all guaranteed

Blue collars, red hearts, deep dreams…
Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes
We juggled mystery
with unvarnished truth
Our jaded experience
And our forgotten youth
Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes
Ten years of our misery
Redact it from my heart
We fought over liberty
’til death did us part
Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes

Darkness falls on the beach,
Whispered promise in the night
Our hopes take flight
Drunken laughter drifts from the bar
Echoes with free-floating lust
And Fools Gold Dust
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
There’s no redemption even if you pray
Slave to the pleasures of the purse
Chasing bright and shiny things
we have been cursed
Keeping score in this game of life
Moved your pawn across the board
Ambition is your overlord
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray
Sleeping for so long I can’t
Answer the morning bell
This morning from hell
Born from darkness, black from white
Meditate until I dream
I’m bathed in the light
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray
