I'm covered in soot 
 We're running for gondolas 
 And when I come home again 
 My arms will wrap around my friends 
    I'm covered in soot 
 I'm covered in skin 
 And when I go to leave again 
 I'll wear the clothes you put me in   
 Could I be coming home 
 With the waves rolling back 
 Oh why? 
 Oh why did I go outside 
 With the bitches on the trail oh why? 
 Oh why?   
 Did I go, I don't know 
 Only thing I can think to say is 
 Get on the train 
 Get on the train 
 And ride it till you come 
 Ride it till you come 
 Or could I just 
 Get on the train get on the train 
 And ride it till you come 
 Ride it till you come   
 Like the bass child 
 Like the river wild 
 Like the tide coming in again 
 We're riding in the van 
 Through dotted lines we're making friends 
 With all the other bands 
 Driving to make their fortunes.   
 Could I be coming home 
 With the waves rolling back 
 We're chasing the glow 
 A pack of wolves 
 We're running from home to home 
 Blindly searching for what we know 
 (A dream created from the videos)   
 Our feet are getting raw, 
 But our mouths still quietly 
 Sing the song 
 Keeping time to piston rods 
 We're feeding ourselves on steam exhaust   
 Oh why? 
 Oh why? 
 Do I run like the wolf each time 
 My roots peak out from tender foot 
 Oh why, oh why 
 Can't I just kiss my lips enough 
 Be happy with just making love?
