You can't trust that sign
You're sleepin' in all the time
You'll see me on the screen
Through all the other soul's dark walls
With a sword
The mad circus says goodnight
The tape machine exposed
From all its spinnin' round and round
I've scratched all my reels
I've bitten all my nails to the bone
Like a stone
You come back and thrown up
Away from the top
And away from the drills
But kid I'm a pilot
It's all I believe in
It's all I believe in
You can ride on my back
And time on your hands
You spend your mornings down by the tracks
You had the drivers sign your arms
My hospitals will welcome you home
Like a tomb
With gun marks achin'
To look on your grace
And believe what you say
But kid I'm a pilot
It's all I believe in
It's all I believe in
You can ride on my back
If I stay in this room
They'll remember me for my youth
If I stay in this room
They'll remember me for my youth
If I give it all up
If I give it all up
If I give it all up
But kid I'm a pilot
It's all I believe in
It's all I believe in
It's all I believe in
You can ride on my back
