  • Off the tracks lost the rail
    Trying to squeeze a little blood out a rusty nail
    When you're thirsty, thirsty
    Behind your eyes you feel the burn
    As your down hill ride takes a solid turn from the lonely, lonely

    [Chorus]
    Now don't look back
    My wounded bird
    There's nothing for you're here
    Need no wing just set your mind to fly

    It's like it been a long time in an empty bed
    In an empty room with an empty head full of nothing
    And all you got left is your skin and your teeth
    And the red in your eye your six feet deep to get ready yeah

    [Chorus]

    The waiting is over
    So lets roll in the clover
    Time for a head full of stars
    Lets pull back the curtain
    I know one thing for certain
    Well we don't have very long

    [Chorus]

    Set your mind to fly [x7] Writer/s: CHRIS ROBINSON, CHRISTOPHER MARK ROBINSON, RICH ROBINSON, RICHARD S. ROBINSON
