Thieves' Kitchen - The Return Of The Ultragravy lyrics

Stepping out to see another day has gone Time is slipping by, they're losing touch of where they're from Reality surrounds them but it blocks the way ahead It's as if the time has come to take them from this path they tread Sometimes there's someone there to knock you down Before too long you find what you've become Too late to go back to the place they call home… They take the task that they've been set to ease their minds It'll take them forty years but they could still get left behind Night and day it goes on, there's no end to the grind But one day the time will come for them to unwind Hitch a ride on a magic wave to take you away Set your sights for hopes and dreams to stay Too late to go back to the place they call home… The people queue up one by one to see if their luck's in Six times for luck they hope to see if their dreams could begin Twice a week time drifts on by, and still nothing there All they can do is wait and see if next time they'll be set free There's a road far up ahead Taking people to their dreams Drive on, it'll take you there Won't be long, you'll soon find the chair Sit right back, relax and smile Realise you haven't known this for a while… Can you feel the air tonight, bringing on the rain There's a chance that it has come to take away the pain Ha**le free it sets you free, bridge the gap of sanity Hell's the place you call hope, wears away like a rope… Now you find they have you in their hands There's no way you could spoil their plans Too late to go back to the place they call home… You spend your days working hard You realise it's just a facade But your duty draws you in Knowing another day must begin Before too long you start to shout But no-one cares what it's all about They're tied up too, just like you With no hope to see their life through
