Long Way Home - Steve Kilbey

I’ve got a million lives baby

I lead 'em around like hounds

Walk upon these gilded streets

With gloria all around

Just got in from three BC

Now I’m feeling underwhelmed

Black and blue by the red sea

Nice to know you’re at the helm

Tuesday vanished like a bird

I can’t face you anymore

Trample following a herd

I said come let us adore

I thought love was eternal

But it’s just an unsatisfied external

I thought love was enduring

But it’s a sickness, it needs curing

(And then I pull it back)

I’m a cog in this machine

My approval rating’s down

I’m looping in a subroutine

Nice to know you’re all around

There’s a message in the stars

There’s a prophet in the dust

There’s a door I can’t walk past

It’s a lust that’s just a must

I thought love was eternal

But it’s just an unsatisfied external

I thought love was enduring

But it’s a sickness, it needs curing

I thought love was eternal

But it’s just an unsatisfied external

I thought love was enduring

But it’s a sickness, it needs curing
