The Floating Men – Wastelands lyrics
I’m on my way
I’m breaking through
The clouds of gray and powder blue
Hooray
Hallelujah
I’m a beautiful man
On fields of stone and rusted cans
Bones and bottles and disowned lands
I will stand
Hallelujah
A magnificent man
Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m pounding my chest while the girls in the grandstand scream
I’m a work of art
I’ll take your heart
I’ll fill you with fountains of fire and sparks
In the dark
Hallelujah
We’ll lie littered with laughter and riddled with dazzling stars
I’ll fall to my knees in the hall of my dreams
Majestically posing while girls in the mezzanine scream
“Hallelujah!”
For exotic oils and forbidden teas
Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m curling my lip while the girls in grandstand scream,
“Please outsider
You seem like such a lonely man
Take me away with you
I want to see the wastelands”
All the Romeos burn just a little too bright
All the harrowing rodeo gigolos wither and die
Hallelujah
At the hands of day, at the feet of the night
So dress my wounds and soothe my brow
We’ll make it from here to the border somehow
Where we’ll drown
Hallelujah
In exotic oils with forbidden powers
Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m dusting my chaps while the girls in grandstand scream,
“Please outsider
You seem like such a lonely man
Take me away with you
I want to see the wastelands
Please show me the wastelands
Show me the wastelands
You seem like such a haunted man
I want to see the wastelands
Please show me the wastelands”
