Lyrics
rode my bike up to the overlook
pressing wheels against the red sand
i’m in need of a vacation
before i come around again
i’m driving just to feel the clutch shift
take the highway to the ocean
i can’t stop once i’m in motion
don’t know where i’m gonna end
i am balanced on a wire, i am the product of my times
i’ve seen a shipwreck and a citadel in the way you make me smile
i’m an actor, i’m an animal, i’m a dodo and a sphinx
i’m a vampire in my coffin and i haven’t slept a wink
i’m not fond of being closed in
then again i am a hypocrite
slowing down i see the world spin
and i’m in and out of it
in a near torrential downpour
one must keep on pressing forward
you can’t hydroplane forever
so we best learn how to swim
we are balanced on a wire, we are the product of our times
in an endless search for meaning in the most reasonless of rhymes
we are actors, we are animals, we are strikers, we are finks
we are vampire in our coffins and we’re living on the brink
take it all with a grain of salt
try not to feel like it is all your fault
long ago you weren’t afraid to fall
but you can’t remember when
you are balanced on a wire, you are the product of your times
you could have been anything you wanted, all you wanted was to be alright
you’re an actor, you're an animal, you’re the subject and the shrink
you’re a vampire in your coffin, looking for the missing link
you’re a vampire in your coffin and you’ve had too much to drink
you’re a vampire in your coffin and you are what you think
