Words: The Back Horn
Music: The Back Horn

No doubt we're sentient fish
bearing the saddlecloth on our backs
all the way from cradle to grave,

the drop out, today it could be me
I shrug my shoulders on the train,
stopped because of a suicide on the tracks

this steamy night city like a vampire
leave me alone, I'll decide what my sin is.

I like things as they are, yeah right.
Don't shut your ears
You're just saying the same things.

What's real? What can we do?
Running constantly, life ain't no game.

Like a vampire this steamy night city
tastes of blood, I smell money.

scream that you're alive.
you don't need a voice to sing.
