Lyrics
I'm young in my camper van
The world feels old and new
I fear the future man
As I take in the view
Don't know where to head now
I give up? Go back?
My friends are all dead now
Or stifled in the sack
Sound round, feel the ground
Feel the pulse that we have found
Breathe in, feel the spin
Where's the dream that we were in?
Sound round, feel the ground
Feel the pulse that we have found
Sound round, feel the ground
Feel the pulse that we have found
Breathe in, feel the spin
Where's the dream that we were in?
Sound round, feel the ground
Feel the pulse that we have found
I'm young in my camper van
The world feels old and new
I fear the future man
As I take in the view
Now I'm in the ether
Look down at time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line
I see them older
When life is done
I was a loser
At the game they won
Come on let's try
To pick up the peace
You and I
On our hands and knees
Come on let's try
To pick up, pick up the peace
Come on let's try
To touch the Fleece
You and I
On our hands and knees
Come on let's try
To pick up, pick up the peace
How do old people forget
That the wars we've seen
Are 'bout me longing for you
You longing for me?
We found this pile of paper
Written by that ether man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan
He'd turn us into music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless, endless
Endless, endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
We got our folks together
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream
We were the carriers
We got rich and famous
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They wanted more
We got a hit (Good news, we got a hit)
We got a hit (Good news, we got a hit)
We got a hit (Good news, we got a hit)
We got a hit (Good news, we-)
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got our folks together
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream
We were the carriers
We were the carriers
We got a hit (Good news, we got a hit)
We got a hit (Good news, we-)
People died where I performed
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
The band played on until the dawn
Lies and drunks and drugs and fools
Tricks and stunts disguise the tools
Was the victim dead, was there blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?
They made my dream come true
They made my dream come true
They made my dream come true
