Píseň: Ride Out
From the sword of the crusader to the missionary spin From the atom of creation to the secrets deep within Illusions and delusions lead us where we shouldn't go Time to disconnect from clutter, time to hit the road Ride out to a bold new horizon Where the sun may be shinin' On a place you've never seen Ride out lift your soul and your spirit Take a chance and get near it Everybody needs a dream Is the media for real do we fake or do we feel Do we base all our appeal on a model or a myth It's a market correction it's addiction resurrection It's the last thing you mention before you knock it stiff Ride out where the hills meet the valleys Far from campaigns and rallies And the things we do for oil Ride out mix the real and imagined With the lost and abandoned And bring it to a boil It takes your breath away The way we pay and pay and pay and pay You can take it to the masses you can run it up a pole You can conquer all resistance and believe you're in control But the world will be watchin' there's a crack in every lie When it opens like a chasm you can kiss it all goodbye Ride out to the high copper canyons Past the shacks and the mansions Where the rivers never end Ride out past the peaks and the mesas To the wide open spaces You may never see again Ride out to a brand new horizon Where the sun may be shinin' On a place you've never seen Ride out lift your soul lift your spirt Take a chance and get near it
