The caravan tipped over
Two three times went spinning down a carriageway
Breaking up into splinters
Wheels spinning around in the dust at the foot of the hill
And all the old clothes
The pots and pans and the photographs
The little things of those peoples' lives lay strewn across the road
We all want what we cannot have
We've driven so far we can never get back
Sitting in the all-night cafe in a curl of smoke
Telling tales of the road
ย
By the glow of a flickering lighter
We went stumbling forward through the corridor
Up the broken staircase
Through the tumbled trail of shattered glass
Down the mattresses in the doorway
An old abandoned takeaway, no
Nothing much to tell us
Dipper and Away you're gone
By now you could be miles away
We all want what we cannot have
We've driven so far we can never get back
Sitting in the all-night cafe in a curl of smoke
Telling tales of the road
And everyone just keeps moving on
Turn around and find they're all gone
The lights go out one by one
The party goes on, it's not coming on
ย
Down at the ferry bridge junction
Beneath the cooling towers a man stood hitching a ride
And in the long grass through the bushes almost laid asleep
He said nothing's left to keep us
In the city where we come from
Take us far away from here
Looking for work in a wishing well
The sound in the sunlight
Spilled shadows across the golden hills
A searchless at the border
They're not looking for what we're hiding
They're not looking for what we're hiding
We all want what we cannot have
We've driven so far we can never get back
Sitting in the all-night cafe in a curl of smoke
Telling tales of the road
We all want what we cannot have
We've driven so far we can never get back
Sitting in the all-night cafe in a curl of smoke
Telling tales of the road
