Neko Case and Her Boyfriends - Guided by Wire lyrics

Voices that did comfort me Are furthest from my sanity And come from places I have never seen Even in my darkest recollection There was someone singin' my life back to me The life you learn from someone else That you can only trust yourself Sometimes that is still too much to want Morality won't get you through the mazes You can never travel back the way you've come I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless and all the surrogates Of those who're singin' my life back to me Life is not a constant thing It's only made of short stories I couldn't even tell you where I'm from Guided by the voices I've perfected Guided by electric wires' hum I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless and all the surrogates Of Those who're singin' my life back to me I see you in the future, skippin' time While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace Yet tonight I see the highway like a cheetah under foot And someone singin' my life back to me
