lyrics

Shut the door. Leave the others to the wolves. Feed your flock.
Light a candle for the weaker ones we've lost.
You're good stock-will is gold, and you're strong enough I know,
But reports show you haven't turned a profit,
So we'll have to let you go.

And it feels like coming home.
Motorcar, familiar road.

Drive me far from here.
It feels like coming home.

Motorcar-
Don't you let me slip into the dark again,
Starlight guide me home instead.
We don't speak, is Grandma B still proud of me?
Dammit, God, I would love to have a word.
I'm your weakest sheep. Light a candle for me.

And it feels like coming home-
On unfamiliar roads in my same old motorcar.
