When you walk down the road,
And the thorns are everywhere,
The berries are sweet,
And the sun is moist.
When you walk down the road,
Bow your head.
When you walk down the road,
And the valleys are high,
When you walk the road,
Hold your head alight.
Bow down high
To the sun,
To the moon, to the stars.
When you walk down the road, ahai.
When the road walks upon you,
When the road winds this way,
That way on your spine,
When the road walks upon you,
Time to dance yourself alive
Once again, alive again.
You can be alive again.
When you walk down the road,
And you see yourself coming toward you,
What do you do?
Do you run, run towards you,
Run, run from you, now?
When you walk down the road
Backwards, backwards again.
Turn around, spin around,
Round and round and round.
When you walk down the road
And the road isn't there,
Well, where shall you go?
And you walk, you never know,
You never know, you could get lost
And find -- who knows?
Who knows.
When you walk down the road
That isn't there.
When you walk down the road,
Hand and hand with me,
When you walk down the road,
Foot and foot with me.
When you walk down the road,
And the road's not there,
And you're running toward yourself
Going anywhere.
When the road is walking on you,
And you don't know where I am,
Because I'm you,
What do you do?
What do you do?
Get lost and end up everywhere.
When you walk down the road,
And the road's everywhere,
When you walk down the road,
And the road refuses to say,
"Hey, where ya goin' again?
Hey, where ya, where ya been?
Put yer hand in mine,"
Says the road.
"We'll have a grand time,"
Says the road.
"Don't worry where yer goin',
Don't worry where ya've been.
Don't worry if there's anyone there.
We'll go everywhere
We've been everywhen
Don't stop goin'
Don't spinin'
Don't stop dancin' down the road."
Don't stop dancin' down the road.
Never stop dancin' down the road.

This takes ya soaring to heights of excitement about existing. I rarely go a day without listening to this peak of excellence. Masterful technique, gritty joy, multi-track intensity from all sides. Sound Animal
Clangy industrial spaces drift away from one another, and an enticing world opens up and slowly turns into painfully beautiful melody. Heavy riffs that make you hold life to your heart and tremble. Sound Animal
