Common Rider

The Only Ones

Common Rider


though the hammer's blind 
though the weapon's primed 
though the water's mined 
you are not the last 
you're not iron cast 
not a broken mast 
the way that a crude anxiety knocks around underneath the crosswalk 
the way that the roar of unsaid things drowns out all the small talk 
yeah, ghost walk, till the dead grow tired of the night 

though you are alone 
you have never been the only one 
we will reach from our points in the dark 
and see where luck comes from 

the god of increase 
is not a god of peace 
and it troubles me 
to the burning ups 
to the whiskey cups 
to the purple dusk 
faith in places where the mind can't go but the heart hangs around 
traced in the faces where the eyes recall what's still important now 
yeah, trust this, and the whole blue world will be yours and mine 

though you are alone 
you have never been the only one 
we will reach from our points in the dark 
and see where luck comes from 

in the city of shut down lights 
in the crosshairs of enemy sights 
we will reach from the dark 
till we excavate a sky 

(calling ... calling ...) 

though you are alone 
you have never been the only one 
we will reach from our points in the dark 
and see where luck comes from 

though you are alone 
you have never been the only one 
we will reach from our points in the dark 
and see where luck comes from 

see where luck comes from 
see where luck comes from
