Hold Fast

lyrics

Let's have a drink and we can talk about the world and all the trouble with it, like two little political scientists. Just sit down and we can catch up. I'll sing you songs I only sing when I'm drunk. Oh look at us, and our exact sciences.

I hear it's rough for you. One step forward, two steps back and no follow through. I heard some things you needed are now gone. I'll tell you it'll work out fine, but we both know it wont always be right. Truth is you've known too much for too long.

Speaking in tongues, speak of the devil. You're walking a fine line, you'd better be careful. We have calculated the costs of living in the past and its not quite worth bitching about what wont last. So set your feet and hold fast.

It's getting colder out here, colder than I've known. Just listening to the engine pushing and pulling in and out of time. It's getting darker out here, and I haven't known you for years. I think I hear the engine start to unwind.

I think I hear somebody speaking in tongues, speak of the devil, you're walking a fine line you'd better be careful. That radio signal aint coming in so clear but I know what I know and I hear what I hear. Aint no going back. So set your feet and hold fast.
