Played Out

Twenty miles out and you're slowing down

Thinking about how you'd better turn around

Most of the time there's nothing around here to hang on to

Even dust clouds just passing through

Watching the sunset on this town

Is like watching a candle burning down

I always say that you're better for things that you go through

Still I've got nothing to show for you

Feel I've been swallowed up in space now

Played out and home again face down

Sitting on top of a mountain of gold

Where the airs so thin that you'll never grow old

It's only a year since this loneliness has been sold to you

Now you want someone to take it from you

Feel I've been swallowed up in space now

Played out and home again face down

Sometimes I feel like I'm part of the veil

Cos I can't come down and get you out of jail

When you can't see that you're the key in the lock of an open door

You just need someone to walk through it for

Feel I've been swallowed up in space now

Played out and home again face down
