lyrics

Iron Line

Get out and walk on the iron line. Iron time air line slick and fine. Get out and ride on the iron line. Dirt and heat eat at your mind.
They say it's hell at the end of the road. Your dream inflates then implodes. Your hot car is a rust bomb. Your heart bursts but your face is calm.
So blasé, quite amused. Yet indecisive and confused. Yes you have the answers now but you don't care. You relocate yourself everywhere.
Get out and walk on the iron line. Iron time air line slick and fine. Get out and ride on the iron line. Dirt and heat eat at your mind.
