Lifers

They're relaxed dust in our eyes

Or in the blur of enraged city lights

My heart's a world of old woes

Some I recall and some that I don't

Only way out's the way back in

I remain on highways and small stages

That'll be the dream for me

See my friends on jet planes and big stages

And I wave and they'll wave back

It's all I ask, it's all I ask

I wake up ten years older

Same war, the same fallen soldiers

Where we've been is still where we had it

Same place with a different name

And the way out's the way back in

I remain on highways and small stages

And that'll be the dream for me

See my friends on jet planes and big stages

And I'll wave, and they'll wave back

It's all I ask, it's all I ask

The only way out's the way back in
