[Verse 1] I was lost for a while in the mirrored hallway of a highrise hotel Umbrella drink in my hand, sitting down Saw ten thousand mes, numb cocaine teeth in their chatterin mouths Thought about home, thought about death, thought about moving south [Verse 2] Rodeo wind blew in, now the candles out and everyones scared Call my broker, sell everything, I want to be prepared Heard the cavalry cry of my girl for the night when I entered her Sounded so fake, always feels fake, finishes and then it feels worse [Chorus 1] But every hallway has a camera Every hallway has a camera, dont you know? They never let you open the window They never let you open the window Smoke signals of thought, white ribbons of loss High above the tree line, they cry out [Verse 3] I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las Vegas strip My brother hunched over in the bushes, gettin sick Security knew took one look and threw us out, lifes not fair I tried to die young with my true love, ended up a millionaire [Verse 4] The mechanical world, a loud sound youve never heard, thats always there Radios trailing through the desert, keep driving until you disappear We made a gentlemens pact no stopping, no looking back, lace those shoes Take the first step, take the next step, atta boy, its never too soon [Chorus 2] Cause all that you keep is the journey All you keep are the spaces inbetween Its not the fresh start or the ending All that you keep is the journey Smoke rings round my thoughts, blue ribbons at dawn High beyond the tree line, we pass out [Outro] Smoke signals of thought, white ribbons of loss High above the tree line, they cry out
