Driver Friendly - Twenty Centuries of Sleep Songtexte

The city's hungry, I can feel it in the heat
My stomach's empty, I feel it in my teeth
Heard your voice last night in my sleep
A silhouette of a memory I wish I didn't keep

Oh when the nightmare's over
All that's left behind
Are the same words on repeat
Carry on, carry on, carry on

Our best laid plans are never in our hands, are never in our hands
Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind
Search a waste of desert sand, of desert sand
Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

I feel the weight of the legacy
It's bearing down on me
Your voice is haunting me
All the time it sings
The same words at night in my sleep
The same words on repeat
It carries on for centuries

I watch the future unfold and truth be told
It caught me clean off guard
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold

Our best laid plans are never in our hands, are never in our hands
Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind
Search a waste of desert sand, of desert sand
Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

The city's hungry
I can feel it in the heat
My stomach's empty
I feel it in my teeth

Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep

With our backs against the wall we're not caving in
Let the tide meet the shoreline, we can drink it all in
With our backs against the wall we're not caving in
Let the tide meet the shoreline, we can drink it all in

Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep
Twenty centuries of sleep
