lyrics

The Hitchhiker’s got no home,
Rambling from coast to coast,
Smiling at unfamiliar cars,
Just another boy with his guitar.

When we were kids we believed,
Opened up our hearts with ease,
Running by the factories,
Emboldened by our Spring trapeze,

Before the girls and summer love,
Racing in the fields above,
The cooling river ran below,
Like silver out of gold we’d flow,
Sailing under cloud pillow skies.

They tried to make me understand,
The money junkies own the land,
I shined your silver, cleared your plate, I’ll leave you know to shift your weight.
I’ll join the revolution, positive that I am not too late, The refugee returned to save his faith.

The entertainer now has lost his touch,
The crowd don’t gather quite so much,
His smile has faded with his coat,
Comfortably he wears them both.

He’s abandoned all his subtlety,
Politeness and harmony,
And every word is calculated,
Weighted, anticipated,
In the evening, he chases shadows home.

They tried to make me understand,
The money junkies own the land,
I shined your silver, cleared your plate, I’ll leave you now to shift your weight.
I’ll join the revolution, positive that I am not too late, The refugee in time to save the state.

The Hitchhiker’s got no home,
Rambling from coast to coast,
Smiling at unfamiliar cars,
Just another boy with his guitar.

They tried to make me understand,
The money junkies own the land,
I shined your silver, cleared your plate, I’ll leave you now to shift your weight.
I’ll join the revolution, positive that I am not too late, The refugee in time to save the state.
