Old Man Luedecke - The Rear Guard lyrics

The Rear Guard I'm bringing up the rear guard, I'm coming in dead last Trying to find the smiles that don't fade so fast My hands are on fire, hands are on fire I ain't got no more time for all you charlatans and liars Well I guess I'm doing all right since I found my own way These couches sure are comfy in the salon des refusé My hands are on fire, hands are on fire I ain't got no more time for all you charlatans and liars I fly on homemade wings up into the sun Seems to me there's room up here for each and everyone Every dream I ever loved is pushing me up higher My hands are on fire, my hands are on fire I have a friend, Jamie, and he sang to me this verse, "I'm so far behind that I think I'm first" My hands are on fire, hands are on fire I ain't got no more time for all you charlatans and liars I fly on homemade wings up into the sun Seems to me there's room up here for each and everyone Every dream I ever loved is pushing me up higher My hands are on fire, my hands are on fire So go your own way on the battlefield of truth Hold your burning hands up, the emblems of eternal youth If love can win battles as well as lies and swords If god is in the details, the devil makes us bored I fly on homemade wings up into the sun Seems to me there's room up here for each and everyone Every dream I ever loved is pushing me up higher My hands are on fire, my hands are on fire My hands are on fire, my hands are on fire
