Late Century Dream

Late Century Dream Lyrics

well you never did like the way the road stretched out
never knowing where all these oiley black threads are tied

under the lights of a spaceship landed
on the ice of a curve unsanded
theres a clover leaf
that'll wreck your life

and everybody lives in a knot
everybody lives in a knot
everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got
everybody lives in a knot
everybody lives in a knot
everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got

it was never better
it was never any better
but a nation is not soothed
when they tell her
and the doctors all look shocked

but everybody grows up weened on some sick late century dream
or the happy face on a shirt smiling "shop till you drop" - yeah

everybody lives in a knot x2
everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got

everybody's trying to hold on to a dream even as they watch it rot

ta da da da x4
