indio saravanja - orphans lyrics

we were capsized in the waves of empty faces
baptized in that million dollar sound
and we found our own religion in those places
the stadium was the biggest church in town
but there comes a time you wonder what you live for
when the sacred things lose meaning in your head
it’s like waking from a dream to find you’re older
with the feeling something died while you were sleeping in your bed

when we got into that van we made a promise
said we’d find the things we looked for long ago
the open roads beyond the perfect highways
that told us there was nowhere left to go
and all the way we fought to keep it coming
but that strip mall highway didn’t seem like it would ever end
and when we realized we couldn’t drive forever
we were needing more than money though we didn’t know it then
and now it’s been a long long time since we have spoken
are you having any good dreams you could share
with someone just like you but not as broken
well brother i’m not sure you even care
but i had one just last night about walt whitman
saw his face on all my money clear and green
and the president confessed to all the nations
that the leaves of grass were drenched in foreign blood and gasoline

he was a half+forgotten preacher in the theatre
screaming ’bout a world that we once knew
but this time ’round when johnny said no future
from my television man you know it felt so true
tonight we’ll have the campfires and the music
just like we used to do so many times before
and i’ll sing one ‘neath the stars just for you brother
’cause you know you’re gonna come back from this war

yeah we were capsized in the waves of empty faces
baptized in that million dollar sound
and we found our own religion in those places
the stadium was the biggest church in town
but there comes a time you wonder what you live for
when the sacred things lose meaning in your head
it’s like waking from a dream to find you’re older
with the feeling something died while you were sleeping in your bed
