I’m driving out through the dirty wind.
Stopped for a swim, are you far behind?
Middle nowhere, oh how I like what it means,
What it means to be human.
Let’s walk from here, it’s the end of the line.
Nothing ahead, I hope nature’s kind.
Our bags are full of another life.
What’s it mean?
What’s it mean to be human.
I’m running ahead now.
Cause I’m closer to death now.
So wake me up in the morning.
Wake me up with the story of your dream.
I can hear them talking.
Talking like this is all that we ever need.
Feel it crawling up my spine.
Spider legs but I’m feeling fine.
In your web you’ve redefined what it means,
What it means to be human.
So I keep weaving in and out of time.
I take a moment to keep out of sight.
I’ll come back when you’ve redefined what it means,
What it means to be human.
Running ahead now.
Yeah I’m closer to death now.
So wake me up in the morning.
Wake me up with the story of your dream.
I can hear them talking.
Talking like this is all that we ever need.
So wake me up in the morning.
Wake me up with the story of your dream.
I can hear them talking.
Talking like this is all that we ever need.
Then let’s go walking.
Head down to the bank of the river stream.
I know that it’s freezing,
but it’s the closest that you’ll ever get to me.
