Lowlands

We were crawling through valleys, yeah we were swimming in mud
 you in your rusty chains, me in my lead coat
 Weary and tired of always running around
 chasing the taproot of sorrow down the rabbithole
 We were standing on the ledge, just trying not to look down
 You with your feather in your hand, me with my parasole
 I want to feel the air, I want to fly like a bird
 I want to get the hell out of here
 somebody catch me, catch me
 The endless story of how we survived the lowlands
 and this unlikely road, unraveling like thread
 Slouching in the shadows, hanging of off barstools
 we traded tales of our little wars
 I knew I could trust you, so I let you listen singing in my glass
 along with the jukebox.
 it was the maiden voyage of that little leaky boat
 Me with my stormcloud you with your albatross
 It's starting to get cold, do you remember which way is east
 do you remember which way is home? How'd we get here?
 The endless story of how we survived the lowlands
 and this unlikely road, unraveling like thread
 Watching the years fly past the carwindows
 making us dizzy like a barrel of moonshine
 of these highways running around, you had a dream we were traveling soldiers
 dragging our burden over the Rockies
 the battle of ann arbor, the battle of 6th street
 It was all figured out, our flawless getaway plan
 you in your flashy clothes me in my broke-down car...
