Lyrics

I was born in a kingdom with nothing but rules Hum a little melody woven in lies Tattooed on the skin and then sanctified Oh, I miss those old songs Coming out of worn down speakers straight fire Wires from a mind with nothing to hide Spit warrior of late night and wine Can you call it back? In each inhalation a little fire grows Travel the world in a Winnebago No-one can find us but we arrive with Buckets of wine and whenever we go Women and children and men would limbo Out of the mist of another mountain Smuggled a diamond out of the Congo Self-immolation I don't think it will last long But if I woke somebody's heart tonight Then I know, then I know, then I know that it's not over for me I can feel the road on my skin I can see the lights in my eyes Jump up on the stage and get hypnotized It's a strange, strange feeling Moustache men got nothing on me Decibels overpower high priests Faces arranged into features that please you I just wanna meet you All over the world I collide with atoms Slamming around in the psychic jungle Busses and trains and another meat tray Sitting around in the glimmer heat wave Every day it's another question What is your name and what is your action? Come on and find us appearing near you Never too late for me to work a little magic But if I woke somebody's heart tonight Then I know, then I know, then I know that it's not over for me, yeah Wooooaaaah, wooooaaaah, wooooaaaah ... Adelphia (x3) In each inhalation a little fire grows Travel the world in a Winnebago No-one can find us but we arrive with Buckets of wine and whenever we go Women and children and men would limbo Out of the mist of another mountain Smuggled a diamond out of the Congo Self-immolation I don't think it will last All over the world I collide with atoms Slamming around in the psychic jungle Busses and trains and another meat tray Sitting around in the glimmer heat wave Every day it's another question What is your name and what is your action? Come on and find us appearing near you Never too late for me to work a little magic But if I woke somebody's heart tonight Then I know, then I know, then I know that it's not over for me, yeah I wanna go, I wanna go I wanna go, I wanna go I wanna go, I wanna go I wanna go, I wanna go I wanna go back to Adelphia, Adelphia ...
