We are bitter losers snarling through our smiles We're the lost boys in the supermarket aisles We're Christmas dogs dumped by the side of the road Confused, we will run for miles We are road rage We are stone age We are wild We are busted light bulbs in a backstreet neon sign We're the shaking gun in a service station line We'll drink though we're drunk We'll sink though we've sunk We're f**ed but we say we're fine We are rampage Missing back pages In our spines We long for journeys and the roadside We long for starlight and the low tide Yeah, we long for fairy tales and firesides
And oh We are coffeehouse cynics, too righteous, too rigid to believe Disappointed romantics scraping the hearts from our sleeves We're the toothless drunk, we're the aging punk Yeah we're Adam with the apple and we're Eve We are beggars with shiny pennies on our knees We long for sunlight on the hillsides Yeah we long for yesterdays and high sign Yeah we long for fairy tales and firesides And oh Yeah we long for carnivals and fairground rides We long for journeys and the roadside We long for fairy tales and firesides
