under the wheels

calexico

walking around with your head bent down

complacent in a sedated state

i wanted to hear what you had to say

but there was too much talking over each other

find me some peace

a mindful heart

a break in the tide when the fighting starts

power's down and the town goes dark

when words fail we scatter

under the wheels

of the war machine

always someone else's scheme

show me a sign

when the world falls apart

from the core to the seams

the threads that we seek

all the way in and totally gone

the panic button is dead to me now

changing your shape in your overcoat

but somehow you manage to stay afloat

defy the system

and avoiding the eyes that stay well hid

surrendered the words while the lovers leap

out of the fray and into the infinite

deep

in the war regime

always someone else's scheme

show me a sign

when the world falls apart

coming together from all of the corners tonight

from the core to the seams

from the threads that we seek

the threads that we seek

find me some peace

a mindful heart

a break in the tide when the fighting starts

power's down and the town goes dark

when words fail we scatter

under the wheels

of the war machine

always someone else's scheme

show me a sign

when the world falls apart

coming together from all of the corners tonight

from the core to the seams

from the threads that we keep
