LYRICS

Verse

I'm not alone cause the TV's on, yeah 
I'm not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday 
And rest, clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside with your grain 
Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside 

Chorus 

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt 
Our hearts littering the topsoil 
Tune in, and we can get the last call 
Our lives, our coal 
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt 
Our hearts, yeah littering the topsoil 
Sign up, the picket line of the parade 
Our lives
