"Tractor On The Motorway" lyrics

"Tractor On The Motorway"

I woke up like this
Like a little bug returning to its chrysalis
Beginning of a different life
Nothing much to carry but the rolling nights

I'm a tractor on the motorway
I'll be there tomorrow if not today
And there's loads of life in my body's way
But I'll get there

I stood up like this
For a moment I forgot what living is
I saved a video
The only one of you that I didn't know

I'm a tractor on the motorway
I'll be there tomorrow if not today
And there's loads of life in my body's way
But I'll get there

I'm a little snail on a train
A moving body's a moving pain
And none of this has a given name
But I'll get there

Funny what becomes awakened when we have whole lives to ponder
Like your favourite sayings written on your kitchen wall
Like when meals become just meals then something is dying
Drink makes you feel the way you ought to feel without it
The ship in the harbour is safe but that's not what a ship is for
All of these words are written in me
I will wear them all

I'm a tractor on the motorway
I'll be there tomorrow if not today
And there's loads of life in my holy way
But I'll get there

I'm a little snail on a train
A moving body's a moving pain
And none of this has a given name
But I'll get there

I woke up like this
Like a little bug returning to its chrysalis
