about

Picking up the story of "The Alchemist" from Balletesque.

lyrics

Stop, line and goodbye
Shakes in your fingers, seein blue flames in the fire
And it was business took you west
From dancin with a sweetheart to a break that will never set
It's a slow train when you're low
Tears in Indiana cut your face til Idaho
Now, your aim is changing tense
Girls were born sprinters, they aren't made for long distance

For your trials and receipts
Rolling miles under feet

Stop, line, close and send
Old friends of the party had you fallin off the fence
Into a blonde light on the lawn
A ghost named Virginia under white stars, cold and drawn
And then gold sounds touched your hear
But the last time you listened only good things disappeared
Half smiles are worthless bets
Blowin by your chances, you stood faithful to the dead

For your trials and receipts
Rolling miles under feet
Your last time for pine after pine
Sign after sign
Line after line
Dime after dime

Stop, styled and detailed
Rollin by the pictures watch the world from a rail
And you spoke to an empty seat
"You are free if you're lucky. I am parts in this machine!"
And then your mad road eyes went wild
Breakin with a briefcase for the exit, the end of the aisle
And on the outside of that train
You let those papers go and then your body did the same
