lyrics

400 ways to tie one thing to another
got the urge to climb anything at any cost:
a hill, that tree, your body

3000 miles away from you hometown
you can take the girl out of the west coast
but you can't take it out of the girl

mud caked on your boots and blood under your fingernails
ain't nothing going to save your soul tonight
find a bit of shelter, start a decent fire
and pray to your angry gods for a little light

you got 24 reasons not to get the hell out of dodge
you could live in fear of the sunlight or you could
stand on the corner with your thumb out

'cause I got one enormous feeling in the marrow of my bones
we're all going to end up dancing
all night long

mud caked on your boots and blood under your fingernails
ain't nothing going to save your soul tonight
find a bit of shelter, start a decent fire
and pray to your angry gods for a little light
