West歌词

[00:44.410]When you travel vague and crooked roads
[00:48.590]And the sun's a scab on vacant skies
[00:52.700]Now we always hope we're still alone
[00:57.080]There's too much time for idle minds
[01:00.600]Imagination's armed with hooks and knives
[01:05.190]We count our fears to pass the time
[01:09.520]Tired or not, don't close your eyes
[01:16.280]
[01:28.900]A picket fence
[01:28.960]Familiar ground's a distant thing
[01:30.840]A painted house
[01:32.870]A quiet life
[01:35.530]One where our days are calm
[01:39.550]And night's are spent in kind
[01:44.290]One where our hopes and dreams
[01:49.500]Are attainable things
[01:55.260]One where time can't reach
[01:58.510]
[02:45.410]Gain half the plains now
[02:48.010]Cut mountain chains down
[02:49.960]Sleep when you can
[02:51.290]You can't know how the night's fall
[02:54.310]Things will be better there
[02:56.270]Things will be good there
[02:58.170]Don't stop to think
[02:59.650]Just chase the dream we're chasing
[03:02.320]I smell the fireplace
[03:04.450]Warm light, a warm face
[03:06.480]A quiet life
[03:08.080]A life, a life, a life, a life
[03:11.420]A life along the breeze
[03:15.610]
[03:34.340]The dogs came at midnight
[03:36.510]Guns drawn and eye's bright
[03:38.730]I heard them laughing
[03:40.960]Black voices scratching
[03:43.360]Black wind they move like
[03:45.880]Our lives ain't worth the millions
[03:48.170]As dog's tear the canvas
[03:50.310]Flies on the carcass
[03:52.500]But it buys the time we need
[03:56.250]
[04:36.490]The dogs came at midnight
[04:39.210]The dogs came at midnight
[04:41.400]The dogs came at midnight
[04:43.810]And I always hear them laughing
