On the outskirts of expansion
Looking out from Blueprint Peak
The flow is flooding of urban settlers
Panning through rivers running dry
Numbers roll on in, smiling a lottery grin
As sadness blurs the eye
It's just a matter of time in the moving on
It's just a matter of time before the moving on
Doesn't take much time for plans to go wrong
Chase another ghost of a chance
In the shadows of chainstore ghost towns
Where no one walks the streets at night
The silent nation hooked on medication
Stares into a blue flickering light
The young drift off alone and the old waste away
And the prospects keep looking up
But the line is getting long on the lost highway
The line's getting longer on the lost highway
Doesn't take much time for plans to go astray
Chase another ghost of a chance
(instrumental)
like verse
They say deep down inside
Lie properties of a healing kind
If so, better come around soon
Do a little bit of service and repair
Do a little bit of service and repair
Do a little more service and repair
Doesn't take much time for plans to change
And offer up another chance
For a little bit more service and repair
A little bit more service and repair
Doesn't take much time for plans to change
And offer up another chance
At sowing the dreams that suited for both soul and soil
