I?m not alone cause the TV?s on, yeah 
I?m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday

Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside

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 littering the topsoil
sign up, it's the picket line or the parade
our lives
