lyrics

The good life is a long way from the day to day we're livin', and the rail car whistle is crying out our names.
A cold wind blows down Main Street freezing everthing in place, and the town crier reports with nothing to say. The sunset tomorrow is the same.

Yellow hearts make U-turns while red hearts only burn themselves out of control.

There are birds in cages reading newspaper pages filled with tales of labryinths and wax wings, and clowns on stages pretending for wages while the actors all take the seats.

For yellow hearts make U-turns while red hearts only burn themselves out of control. The faint of heart make U-turns while red hearts never learn, and green hearts are luckier by far. Yes, green hearts are luckier by far.

Detour signs can keep you down. Railway lines runnin' circles round, and your head spins like a bottle 'til it slows.
Dashboard saints point the way to go. Traffic lights say take it slow, so you just lay down and sleep it off tonight.

For yellow hearts make U-turns, red hearts only burn themselves out of control. While the faint of heart make U-turns, red hearts never learn. Pure hearts are made of gold.
