Blue Locusts and dreams
Under the eaves
Under the eaves
Hovering

End of the line
Wait for a sign
Wait for a sign
Troubling

Blood Harmony
Sing ‘til you bleed
Sing ‘til you bleed
Unconsciously

Keep moving, please
Nothing to see
Nothing to see
It’s a lottery

Nearly the truth
Barely a lie
Mendacious Alibi

Barely the truth
Nearly a lie
Mendacious Alibi

Left ‘em for dead
Bullets and heads
Bullets and heads
He shot them through

Necessary ends
Family and friends
Family and friends
Passing you

Hear through your teeth
Bones underneath
Bones underneath
Talk to me

Keep moving, please
Nothing to see
Nothing to see
It’s a lottery

Nearly the truth
Barely a lie
Mendacious Alibi

Barely the truth
Nearly a lie
Mendacious Alibi

Down the end of the road
End of the road
End of the road
Passin’ through

End of the road
End of the road
End of the road
Shot ‘em through

End of the road
End of the road
End of the road
Passin’ through

End of the road
End of the road
End of the road
Shot ‘em through
