Ls43 Lyrics - New Model Army

Busted out to the halfway house 

At the top of Undercliffe Road 

You and me and your motorbike 

In the ice and drifting snow 

3 a.m. and empty, the city ours alone 

And laughing through the trails of frozen breathing 

I swore to you that I could fly 

If you only let me go 

Holding on as we leant over 

the edge of Baildon Moor 

And far beneath the shadowed lands 

The rocks and shapeless dark 

And all that space for us to fall in 

And all I could feel was myself falling... 

Neon weekends and madhouse nights 

And so much time to taste 

We built monuments to the things we loved 

Then laid each one to waste 

All in suicidal vengeance 

Screaming 'justice justice now' 

As across the burning bridges we thundered 

Now all the rooms at the Inn are taken 

By those wiser than us 

We're still driving for the sunset, love 

And then on into the dusk 

Because all the dreams were meaningless 

And impossible to touch 

But we're still crazed enough to drive for ever 

I swear that I can stay awake forever
