Lift up your glass surrender
Drift far away
Beat hard against the scars
That just won’t fade
Digging deep in shallow pockets
Life’s casino schools
You don’t hear those beating drums
But I still do
When we go chasing stars the world alight
Down the road where the bands are tonight
Dark nights a winter’s silence
Hibernate in fear
Exchange those neon profits
For an old man’s tears
Life grew from feeling lonely
Fixed the fool in me
Some dreams will last forever
Born of all I see
And we go chasing stars the world alight
Down the road where the bands are tonight
I wanna be where the bands are tonight
