Skim! Lyrics station paper-ticking, folding Rain on the glass, cold coins in his palm
Each one, a quiet past Two men on the roadside said,
Take us where you go They smiled and took the fees
Left him with nothing to show He dialed and dialed,
Tone after tone Silence at home, a line of stone
Mother folding off blankets, tears falling slow
Father's words like weather wind that won't let go
Oh, this is life Footsteps under moonlight
Footsteps under moonlight Festo keeps the candle bright
Oh, this is life It's only one-way ride
10 p.m. on the compound, gate Greek shut Mother's eyes are rivers, father's mouth is cut

He packed a small hope and headed for the road
Comp all the lights like a promise
But he had no coat, ID gone, pocket empty
Legander on foreign lips, market smoke
A new tongue, he learned to count his lips
Oh, this is life He died a hundred days, signs on the phone
