Careering Lyrics
A face is raining across the border
The pride of history, the same as murder
Is this living?
He's been careering
The steady hand as planned behind the reasoning
No claim for property, both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Is this living?
He's been careering
Trigger machinery, mangle the military
No one should be there
Is this living?
Blown into breeze, scatter concrete
The jagged metal bad life
Manufactured
He's been careering
Is this living?
A face is raining across the border
The pride of history, the same as murder
Is this living?
Careering
There must be meaning behind the moaning
Spreading tales like coffin nails
Is this living?
He's been careering
It's raining, I need to hide
Trigger machinery
I've been careering
Across the border
Is this living?
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Armoured machinery, mangled
The pride of history, the same as murder
Is this living?
He's been careering
No claim for property, both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Is this living?
He's been careering
No one should be there
Is this living?
Blown into breeze, scatter concrete
The jagged metal bad life
Manufactured
He's been careering
Is this living?
The pride of history, the same as murder
Is this living?
Careering
Spreading tales like coffin nails
Is this living?
He's been careering
Trigger machinery
I've been careering
Across the border
Is this living?
Both sides of the river
There is bacteria
Armoured machinery, mangled
