There's a breakdown on the runway
And the timeless flights are gone
She's a year ahead of myself these days
And she's locomotive strong
Her town spread like cannon fire
In a yellow nervous state
She doesn't cut the ties that bind her
To horoscopes and fate

And she won't break and she won't bend
But someday soon we'll sail away
To innocence and the bitter end
And she won't break and she won't bend
And with the last breath we ever take
We're gonna get back to the strange life again

When we break out of this blindfold
She's gonna take Chloe Price from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain
She's still hard behind the eight
Her town beats like hammered steel
On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight
We'd never have to stop
