American Music Club - On My Way lyrics

Neptune's the scary soldier who always wants to show you his gun A drum beat beyond my champagne sparkle kick and snare From the edge of the world where the waltzes play I'm on my way The North Sea ferry shudders all along its iron wall Full of soldiers who mob the bar where I'm trying to sleep Who drink toasts to those who can't believe any more I'm on my way My sunsets are all one-sentence postcards I can see you holding them in your beautiful hands As I hold my nose to the heart I always betray I'm on my way Past the container port floodlights and the mountains of souls Past abandoned sailboats, rotten sticks and stones Past the lighthouse, the land's last shining hope Sneaking towards the edge of the world, hoping to live beyond our sins And you can't feel the ship move but you can see the earth spin Into a darkness like a fist that absorbs everything we try Maybe I'm finally about to see what's right before my eyes I'm on my way You should be here instead of me You could always love your enemy I was born with no love for anything but I can't look away I'm on my way
