"Crowd Of Drifters" lyrics
"Crowd Of Drifters"
Sometimes the road is too long
You meet all kinds of people
Some of them cast no shadow
They have no reflections
Take a look in your photo book
I'm not there anymore
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the back roads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters
Sometimes the sun is too bright
And it burns you like acid
You get to love driving at night
The moon is so close you can kiss it
I used to remember you smiling and waving
But I don't think I can anymore
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the back roads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters
We come unnoticed at sundown
At the start of a blackout
We set bonfires all over town
And it's over by morning
Sometimes we bring in the rat and the wolf
And sometimes the worm
I was a traveling salesman
I got lost on the back roads
Fell in with a crowd of drifters

The Clientele - "E.M.P.T.Y." When I'm riding home at night now
I get in so tired
To the saws and bows that spell out

My skin is cut, my hands are knives
I could be anyone alive
But...

From the smokin' waters of the lake
With a candle that burned in each palm

Big Star - "Stroke It Noel" Child will you come on down
Come on in with me
Morning says to idle on
Stay clear of the street.
On the wing
And on the land
Can you sing
With anything
Do you wanna dance
Do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya...
