On a highway unpaved
Going my way
You're so alone today
Like a ghost town
I've found there's no relief
No salt in the sea
Is it true what they say
You can't behave
You gambled your soul away
Measuring your dreams
Oh this life seems like the gristle of loneliness
Don't let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying
Like an ice age
Nice days on your way
Sipping the golden dregs
On a riptide
Freaks ride
Sleep inside a parasite's appetite
Oh say can't you see
The chemistry
The parasites
The cleanup fee
Death leather hands
Recycled cans
Get well cards to the hostage vans
Don't let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying
You're a deadweight
Ride straight on your way
Sunk in the midnight shade
Skies burn
Eyes turn
Learning to counterfeit their disease
In this town where we roam
We bluff our souls on canteen patios
We drink the greatest draft
The music drags
The music drags
The music drags
Don't let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying
