Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a dusty desert stop in some far-flung town
Stepped off the steaming train, lookin' around
Found people in the town square, strange woman made a scene
She was screaming 'bout the revelation in her dream, she said
[Refrain]
Forget rising expectations
Gather 'round and watch the rain come
Don't mistake the clocks for time now
Don't forget to read between the lines
(Read between the lines)
[Verse 2]
Something 'bout this town ain't right now
We found a drink to ease our heart's doubt
Barman said, "All glitter ain't gold"
Then the shaman started rattling bones, saying
[PreChorus]
Forget rising expectations
Gather 'round and watch the rain come
Don't mistake the clocks for time now
Don't forget to read between the lines
[Chorus]
The chase is on
It's time to turn this game around
It won't be long
Before they drive you underground
So get set, go
Listen for the sound
It's time to roll
[Verse 3]
That night we heard the tale, they came for us at dawn
"You dirty out-of-towners," all their pistols drawn
Then suddenly from nowhere the freedom fighters came
The gypsy woman sang a song, "Today will be our day"
[PreChorus]
They made us think we lost our key
They took away our liberty
Don't mistake their clocks for time now
Don't forget to read between the lines now
[Chorus]
The chase is on
It's time to turn this game around
It won't be long
Before they drive us underground
So get set, go
Listen for the sound
It's time to roll
