lyrics

Blasted In Hope

In and out and out and in
The ocean breezes blow
I been waiting for that sweet ride
Like an ordinary orphan in the sand
Let me take my stand, soul dance in your hand
To tinsel tunes from silver stars, oh baby

Sweet low down and all around
The lone star whistle blows
I been trying to make connection
With my fast and lonesome Southern Dixie Flyer
Stream-lined and winding fire
Stone-blown through the sky
To what’s behind our lost tomorrow, baby

Eat the flesh and suck the bone
And drink my blood like wine
I’ll come crashing through your window
Like a hot and heartless steaming Philistine
Full out to break your spine,
Smash your dreams on the door
To what’s behind our lost tomorrow, baby

Longing eyes are hypnotized
Inside the last sunbow
Let’s protect the same illusion
While the harvest moon is still a memory,
Eventual ecstasy’s a blockade to the star
And what’s behind our lost tomorrow, baby
