lyrics

Evening’s on my eyelids, smog’s on the horizon
Making all the colours burn orange and red
Grateful to the sunrise, thank you for the moonshine
Back home around this time I’d be wallowing

Hiding from a world both solemn and mean
Scrubbing at my nails until the water runs clean
I’m the lone defender of an innocent dream
I call survival 
I’m out for a bimble, boys, pass me a thimble
This second-hand dodge caravan is blowing out seams
I pull off in North county, two coyotes howling stir  impressions of a lover who got through to me 
Begged for my redemption from a highway queen
Took blood and sweat and skin off both of my knees
She was my protector before the love got lean
I called her survival

We’d like to make it look so easy
It’s hard to make it look so easy and feel alive
I’m giving you a look at how I feel inside
No place to run no place to hide
Not looking for some 70s revival
Just for survival

I swing out of my weight class, yes, I can be a smart ass
Ripping on the green grass when the field’s serene
Puff those clouds awhile, least until I’m smiling
Baby let’s forget all of the miles we’ve seen 
Been me against the world since I was sixteen
And trying to grow apart if you know what I mean
Don’t call me a pawn in the elaborate scheme
Call me survival
