lyrics

Galapagos Twist

I was a sinner, you were the truth
Hiding in your boots
Were you looking for absolution
Did you need a personal truce

Like a nightingale in a ponytail
Shot of whiskey
Wisp of smoke
Look into the palm of my hand
See what the future beholds

Take it further if you can
Take it further be a man
Well beyond the so-and-sos
Where the midnight goes

I was a sinner, you were the truth
I was the aching in your boots
I knew you wanted it though you denied
Who said the truth never lies

It was a soul night like a religion
It couldn't have been any other way you know
Everyone’s got a balloon to catch
You never know where it goes

Take it further if you can
Take it further be a man
Well beyond the so-and-sos
Where the midnight goes

I was a sinner you were the truth
I was admiring your ruth-
lessness in your resolution
Just one thing left for us to do

I pushed it further you pulled me in
I knew you 'd eventually sin
I've lived in bar towns in the low downs
I know how this ending begins

Take it further if you can
Take it further be a man
Well beyond the so-and-sos
Where the midnight goes

Where do we go tomorrow
Where do we go from here
What do we trade for the sorrow
Who do we blame for the fear

It was the ultimate revolution
If we could have only seen it through
You were the manifestation of treason
Left it all in the blue

Take it further if you can
Take it further be a man
Well beyond the so-and-sos
Where the midnight goes
