Tremblings Of Trails Lyrics

We come undone in foreign parts
Our home is heavy in our hearts
But there’s a bubble in Karachi
A Puerto Rican Joan and Chachi
The spirit of this place has long gone
In fact I think it never had one
So terrible and out of place
We’ve got the same decrepit stars

Got my papers and my ticket for the train
To anywhere, anywhere (x2)

Got my papers
Got my papers

We tread with people in their paths
Follow their signs and mystic marks
A mug of tea a cup of Sake
A Virgin Mary with the Marquis
By canoe and coracle
I solely own my carryall
Counting different coloured cars
We’ve got the same decrepit Stars
My plan has failed
Tremblings of trails
Yearning comforts of the dales

Got my papers
Got my papers
Got my papers
Got my papers and my ticket for the train
To anywhere, anywhere

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song rules, cant understand why it has no comments. Its not easy to understand though, obviously something to do with travelling, although the lyrics are at time slightly non sensical: a virigin mary with a marquee???

i think this song is about how everything is the same no matter where we go, and how the singer can't escape the bordome he feels. Also, i think he's saying it doesn't matter where he goes because nowhere has anything to offer him, all he will ever truly own is his carryall bag.
