Lyrics
Roadmap
(from the cd ?Little Coma? released 2004)
it was early in the morning
the sun was undecided
and the red horizon glowed
sky and earth divided
I got an envelope for moments
Memories are licked, sealed in
I got a mirror in my back pocket
Look at it when I feel
I?m not quite being him
And if you got all the answers
All I got?s a roadmap to
Lay my body on
I?m part holy water, got the source from
The rivers I was swimming in
Perpetually blessed by Hess,
Journey to the east again
And if you got all the answers
All I got?s a roadmap to
Lay my body on
Do you remember when, you and I were
Gonna jump a train?
Bring some smoke and writing material,
We?d roll north and we?d roll home again
But if you got all the answers
All I got?s this roadmap to
Lay my body on
You?ve got all the answers
And all I?ve got?s this roadmap.
