Dead Man Ray - Tunnels lyrics

You never were a happy child Not careless not a minute light or lying The more they ran a quicker mile The more your feet would stop and smile The stone collecting knight But there was a corner glow so sober and bright They were their grip on you So you never craved for anything But a lion call or similar ring out yonder Someone was pulling chains up above Like pencils grey turned black Someone offering a sudden way to burn A worthy way out of the flat Big holes blunders or sudden d**h We went like hip hop hup hop Yeah we all would get to thirty-five But never fire a start We’d never think of anything you really ought to be glad Tunnels ain’t it funny how Tunnels they make us feel so tall All we did was run and hide Oxygen or hammer fight Posing like a little god That painted all the other hearts white Tunnels are more hidden child Tunnels are more relevant to you A tunnel’s never been denied Tunnels could be stealing your youth And waiting for another car No one gave a damn about fools like us With a cold hand in your open shirt You picked and payed your breeze We woke the sunfair line And on the road they amped the mike We spent the time they wrote While blood was waiting for a sign And now we find a way To turn out all those tunnel lights With serial heart confess we fell for sense not size And we’ll find an end to it soon But we never got rid of those eyes We were everybody’s pervert lies Something you don’t talk about with guys We struck a little tunnel road and looked for the who*e with style Something was more precious to you every minute filled you You really didn’t have to go i really saw a star born in you We’re never getting paid to look at the other end We’ll never get a velcro stuck smile with these tunnels in mind Cause we never gather anything with light bulbs repulsing our eyes And these tunnels are like mules in spring that's what we just did So you want to ride a car like that a-tunnelled rock?
