Cecil Otter - Cross Countries lyrics

[Verse: Cecil Otter] Just imagine the roads in the fall The golden leaves falling on the mold on the logs The hopes and the gods and the bombs We set fire to the mold and beyond And the dawn broke out like it spent a night in Alcatraz We talking all night about second tries and Cadillacs We grabbed the axe and buried it We found shelter in the woods and found savage acts hilarious The areas, the patience, the habits Now seek shelter in the basements and the attics Packets of rookie cards and looky-loo's galore Crawled away from the moody blues and the war We swore we'd never leave each other, never sleep again Until a horde of lovers come to fortify the need in us The deepest end of the pool, cheaters, s*uts, ghouls They'll feed you to the mutts and the fools We weren't accustomed to the mistrust, we were just missing school Missing the bus like we missed the mistrust And it's a must, it's us and just us, and what's what And it k**s me to think it's all gone, it's just dust In the window pane where my first kiss came through In the middle of a full moon, fiddled with the wool plumes covering our eyes It's like every new move is a surprise Now we're stepping into every room with the prize It's like a weapon that's abused for your pride And the last place you want to hide The rat race was on the side [Bridge: Cecil Otter] High on life, low on the totem pole We ain't on strike We're alive like a lie That's been told to all ears And we're holding all tears back in And let the fears back in [Hook] x4 Fall away from Fall away from you [Bridge: Cecil Otter] [Hook] x4
