Lyrics

I could tell you were dying to try, but you were born tomorrow
In magic spells in modern times, so very well, you are no
Burier of hatchets in the ground, a seed that's only rotten from beginning
Superior and cast off, then washed out, if you were worried about winning
Trophy town has lost its bet, it placed on you tomorrow
The sun is set, last afternoon, and you can bet, you'll follow
The leader who had lost his way again,
And found that your dust was so misleading
Driver in the backseat of your head
Keeps on accusing you of cheating

You can run in dust behind us
Traveling in vain
Run up to the sun and find us
Another way to rain
The same old situation
To change the situation
The same old situation
To change the situation

I could tell you were dying to try, but you were born tomorrow
In magic spells in modern times, so very well, you are no
Burier of hatchets in the ground, a seed that's only rotten from beginning
Superior and cast off, then washed out, if you were worried about winning

You can run in dust behind us
Traveling in vain
Run up to the sun and find us
Another way to rain
The same old situation
To change the situation
The same old situation
To change the situation

Until I fall back down and meet you
Until I fall back down and meet you

You can run in dust behind us
Traveling in vain
Run up to the sun and find us
Another way to rain
The same old situation
To change the situation
The same old situation
To change the situation
