Lyric Runners Dial Zero

by the dried up stream
we slit our throats and dreamed
but when the building s burned
was there some concerned
mother laid in bed
what was it she said?


gather all your worldly jewels
and scatter them like fools
don t you make a fuss
days so perilous
when day is done we ll ride
who cares what we find


another misspent night
we thought we got it right
the driver lost a wheel
the ice turned into steel
they shivered like refugees
way down on our knees


by the dried up stream
we slit our throats and dreamed
but when the building s burned
was there some concerned
mother laid in bed
what was it she said?
