about

A song about reinventing yourself instead of facing yourself.

lyrics

Free like a flag and alone on a train
ready for bangers and five months of rain
This is the new you, yeah break that old chain
Not long from now you’ll be grizzled and drained

Oh, oh, oh - think you’re any different?
Oh, oh, oh - ‘cause of all the places you went?

Oh, oh, oh…

Nothing but a smooth talking traveling hero
undeterred and alone in the sky
When your story’s unraveling here, go
Anywhere to recycle your lies

Here you can kindle exotic romance,
Washington girls, they look better in France
She wants to know you beyond a first glance,
off to Berlin before she gets the chance

Oh, oh, oh - Thing you're any newer?
Oh, oh, oh - 'Cause you took a tour?
Oh, oh, oh…

Nothing but a smooth talking traveling hero
Nothing in your bag but headphones and a lie
Nothing says cultured like a clock set to zero
Nothing coming back but a clone who got high

Talk about adventure as if you’ve embraced it
Talk bout the unknown as if you could face it
Talk the old you as if you've replaced it
Write what you know, then just copy and paste it
