You can make a little hope out of anything

Follow the latest rumour to an empty concrete yard

On the edge of town

You can lie awake through the long dark night

And count the trucks as they go passing by

The ships loading up and sailing out for the promise land

All the fences in the world down to the ground

You can end the journey anywhere
Em/C * Bsus4 E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can lose your hold on the axle frame and fall into the road
Bsus4Esus4
And under the wheels
E5 Em/C Em/C *

Playing a game of hide-and-seek just one too many times
Bsus4Esus4
Until the time that you're not found
