Honest Racers

from The King Of Capture by The Tomorrow File

lyrics

You watch her breathe
You must to agree
Her kinder nature
Worn on her sleeve

And those honest racers
Do perfect math
And talk of acrobats
Beneath the underpass

You haven't blinked
What was your link?
Without a captain
What's left to sink?

You always loathed
That gray millstone
The sweat that seared you
Down to your soul

Sadly stolen
So interwoven
In a thunderclap
You lost your hat

Dancing madly
Under the stars
The teeming trees
Your only bars

Meanwhile, I'm expecting
To be resting
There below the spotter
Sits a ropeman's only daughter

We listen to him moan
His drunken proposal
To the princess of pictures
While the headlights kiss you

And if we never speak
Before the churning reefs
Have lured you with their rolling
Time is a thief
