When you travel vague and crooked roads
And the sun's a scab on vacant skies
Now we always hope we're still alone
There's too much time for idle minds
Imagination's armed with hooks and knives
We count our fears to pass the time
Tired or not, don't close your eyes
A picket fence
A painted house
A quiet life
One where our days are calm
And night's are spent in kind
One where our hopes and dreams
Are attainable things
One where time can't reach
Gain half the plains now
Cut mountain chains down
Sleep when you can
You can't know how the night's fall
Things will be better there
Things will be good there
Don't stop to think
Just chase the dream we're chasing
I smell the fireplace
Warm light, a warm face
A quiet life
A life, a life, a life, a life
A life along the breeze
The dogs came at midnight
Guns drawn and eye's bright
I heard them laughin'
Black voices scratchin'
Black wind they move like
Our lives ain't worth the millions
As dog's tear the canvas
Flies on the carcass
But it buys the time we need
The dogs came at midnight
The dogs came at midnight
The dogs came at midnight
And I always hear them laughing
Familiar ground's a distant thing When you travel vague and crooked roads And the sun's a scab on vacant skies Now we always hope we're still alone There's too much time for idle minds Imagination's armed with hooks and knives We count our fears to pass the time Tired or not, don't close your eyes A picket fence A painted house A quiet life One where our days are calm And night's are spent in kind One where our hopes and dreams Are attainable things One where time can't reach Gain half the plains now Cut mountain chains down Sleep when you can You can't know how the night's fall Things will be better there Things will be good there Don't stop to think Just chase the dream we're chasing I smell the fireplace Warm light, a warm face A quiet life A life, a life, a life, a life A life along the breeze The dogs came at midnight Guns drawn and eye's bright I heard them laughin' Black voices scratchin' Black wind they move like Our lives ain't worth the millions As dog's tear the canvas Flies on the carcass But it buys the time we need The dogs came at midnight The dogs came at midnight The dogs came at midnight And I always hear them laughing Explain Request ×
