Foreigners and Lords

(Intro)
You spoke and broke for something less
Who were you to make this mess
Who were you to try to stand
A flyer who could never land
Yes the thief of me was you
And I’d been catching all you threw
The car engine stopped but we kept on going
Far in the rocks and far in the snow, we, oh
We might be foreigners and we might lords
But who are we to draw our swords?
We might be criminals and we might saints
It’s something we lost, it’s something we gained.
I bite the words, they come undone
It's twisted tongues and paper lungs
Who was I to make amends
With something I knew would not bend
It tastes like dirt inside my head
I try to swim but drown instead
The boat still rocked but we kept on floating
Somewhere we could not come home from
We might be foreigners and we might lords
But who are we to draw our swords?
We might be criminals and we might saints
It’s something we lost, it’s something we gained.
You stood right there, like you were staring at the dark
You disappeared, still strong, still sealed inside that car
We might be foreigners and we might lords
But who are we to draw our swords?
We might be criminals and we might saints
It’s something we lost, it’s something we gained.
We might be foreigners and we might lords
But who are we to draw our swords?
We might be criminals and we might saints
It’s something we lost, it’s something we gained.

We are flyers without sky, we are sailors stuck on shore
You’ve got your heart behind your eyes, I’ve got my heart on the floor
And you don’t look, so I don’t look.
And you don’t look, so I don’t look.
But we’ll still stay here, wait here, take the years
The years we threw away when we were young
But I’m a ghost here. I travel through the walls
Cause I’m the moon and you’re the sun.
We are flyers without sky, we are sailors stuck on shore
You’ve got your heart behind your eyes, I’ve got my heart on the floor
And you don’t look, so I don’t look.
And you don’t look, so I don’t look.
But we’ll still stay here, wait here, take the years
The years we threw away when we were young
But I’m a ghost here. I travel through the walls
Cause I’m the moon and you’re the sun.
I’m the moon and you’re the sun,
Tell me what makes 1 + 1
A less than three frequency we’ve got,
A less than three frequency we’ve got,
A less than three frequency we’ve got
But we’ll still stay here, wait here, take the years
The years we threw away when we were young
But I’m a ghost here. I travel through the walls
Cause I’m the moon and you’re the sun.
But we’ll still stay here, wait here, take the years
The years we threw away when we were young
But I’m a ghost here. I travel through the walls
Cause I’m the moon and you’re the sun.
But we’ll still stay here, wait here, take the years
The years we threw away when we were young
But I’m a ghost here. I travel through the walls
Cause I’m the moon and you’re the sun.

I’ve got maps and I’ve got cars that tell me where to be
But all the maps won’t get me far
And all the towns have what I don’t need
The road that bends between my headlights is the only stress I need
And if home is the place we’ve all got to be, then I’ve just got to be free
And we’ll go
We won’t worry about the cash ‘cause we’ve got years in this old van
And we’ll be a travelling 60’s band in our own Westfallia
Westfallia

Come back where we started, forgot what we wanted
Are you looking for art, or are you lost like me?
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.
Hold up for the fall, hold up for the wall we’re building
We know it’s all lost, oh, we know it’s all lost, oh
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.
We’ve all got our stallions, but forget where we found them
Got a taste of the South, but our defenses are down
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.
I wanna run out wild, like the ships at sea
Not stuck in this island, there’s so much more left to see
There’s so much more left to see, oh, there’s so much more left to see
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.
And the war comes, and we don’t stop
The waves comes, and we don’t stop
We’ll all run, and we won’t stop there.

A fire fought for our control
The flames hid what the sunlight stole
The beauty brought the morning back
And then we forgot what we had
As it leaves the leaves jump off
It sinks in sinks and drowns in rocks
It stares at stairs that go nowhere
Inside it sees the seaside air
And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Silver bullets, golden heart
Reminds us that we’re not too far
Oh, Oh
Empty shoes with no direction
Laces up with my confession
I was young, and I was lost
And my own tongue had been my cross
And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know
For something we don’t know.
