The Hitcher


you're never far away from my mind
always too far away to here
controlled explosions wreck the train lines
just cant believe the coast is clear

i get this feeling it's such an itch

you're somewhere out there in a landslide
all hope just slipping through like sand
telephone lines down in a rainstorm
i'm like a ship moored on dry land

i get this feeling it's such a bitch

you're always far out in the mid-range
all around the state boundary 'spillage' signs
somebody burnt down all the pylons
and you're my passport past these mines

i get this feeling i wanna hitch
hitch a ride on your smile
hitch a ride to your smile
hitch a ride away from here

end of the tunnel light just blinds me
while you weep like a willow tree
sent out distress signals to find me
they shine so hard so why can't we?

i get this feeling I wanna hitch
hitch a ride on your smile
