"Askew Road" lyrics

"Askew Road"

Askew Road, with charm of napalm
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet-proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt

You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed

Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet-proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt

You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed

Most bands have got no respect for us at all, which is fine because we didn't form a band to get respect from other musicians. You know? That was never important criteria to us. It's just tragic, I think

Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
