The Modern Spirit |
In the dark before the train |
Just beyond the barn glow |
Where no dissident remains |
Driving it like we stole it Snow falling, a silver poet |
To concentrate the gallows |
And subtracting us like the wolf does |
Driving it like we stole it But we’re getting nearer, nearer |
Getting near that modern spirit, yeah |
I can hear it, hear it, hear it I can hear that modern spirit |
On the open road for boys |
A white and an open throat |
Night slips back with no noise |
Inside the hitch-hiker's coat |
But we’re getting nearer, nearer |
Getting near that modern spirit, yeah |
I can hear it, hear it, hear it I can hear the modern spirit, yeah |
Can’t you just hear it, hear it, hear it? |
Winter counting everything, we’re near it We’re getting nearer nearer, nearer |
Friendship changing everything, we’re near it I can hear it Is this the modern spirit? |
Is this the modern spirit, yeah |
Is this the modern spirit |
This is the modern spirit, yeah |
This is the modern spirit |
This is the modern spirit, yeah |
This is the modern spirit |
This is the modern spirit, yeah |
Yeah? |
Yeah |
