Lyrics

flesh is foreign, friends are far
debts run deep, sleep is minced or marred
and it's all out war for the soul between
dreams that are hungry and the fears that feed

but i'll carry it, by chariot, through blood and blows
under starless skies of fire into great unknown
living on the lam, and the frontier of
a free life of free will, for the thrill of your love

spill your secrets and paint my days
passion is your palette, your canvases cafes
and null my nights in the harbour and hell
of the cantina's counsel and meals of mezcal

plans to settle down, plans to up and split
plans loose as the morals we are planning with
baby, be the beast, but free what burdens be
and i'll love you, if you love me

all life long
until I'm gone

cigarettes, sorcery, and biblical sins
hangovers, heathens, harlots, and anti-heroines
the cabarets, the getaways, and the afterglow
a little money, and whatever is on the radio
plans to settle down, plans to up and split
plans loose as the morals we are planning with
baby, be the beast, but free what burdens be
and i'll love you, if you love me

all life long
until I'm gone
