I keep a lighter in my pocket Since the fall of 2005 I was there Waiting on a revelation I was lucky to get out alive I was looking for a name For a place to Begin again Was I a man dreaming of a drug Or a drug dreaming of a man? Life or death Transmissions from the liberation front Broken English on invisible wires So far gone I didn't cast a shadow I believed I was born a liar I was looking for a name For a place to begin again I was a man losing his voice For words misused and things unsaid Life or death Hard won The sweet and aimless morning The second son Who learned to speak by counting Is moving on Well free of understanding I was lucking to get out alive
