Frank Turner - I Am Disappeared Lyrics
I keep having dreamsOf pioneers and pirate ships and Bob DylanOf people wrapped up tight in the thing that'll kill themOf being trapped in a lift plunging straight to the bottomOf open seas and ways of life we've forgottenI keep having dreamsAmy worked in a bar in ExeterI went back to her house and I slept beside herShe woke up screaming in the middle of the nightTerrified of her own insidesDreams of pirate ships and Patty HearstBreaking through a life over rehearsedShe can't remember which came firstThe house the home or the terrible thirstShe keeps having dreamsAnd on the worst daysWhen it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnesShe's got her cowboy boots and car keys on the bed standSo she can always runShe can get up, shower in half an hourShe'd be goneI keep having dreams of things I need to doOf waking up and not following throughIt feels like I haven't slept at allWhen I wake to a silence and she's facing the wallPosters of Dylan and of HemingwayAn antique compass for a sailor's escapeShe says you just can't live this wayI close my eyes and I never sayI'm still having dreamsAnd on the worst daysWhen it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnesI sleep with my passportOne eye on the back doorSo I can always runI can get up, shower in half an hourI'd be goneAnd come morningI am disappearedJust an imprintOn the bed sheetsAnd by the roadsideWith my thumb outA car pulls upAnd Bob's drivingSo I climb inWe don't say a wordAs we pull offInto the sunriseAnd these riversOf tarmacAre like arteries'Cause the countryWe are blood cellsAlive inThe blood streamAnd beating heart of the countryWe are electricPulsesIn pathwaysOf the sleeping soul of the countryWe are electricPulsesIn the pathwayOf the sleeping soul of the country(We are electric)
