Circle K

from East of Nowhere by Colin Fowlie

/

lyrics

Well I’m stopped to top up on caffeine and gasoline This Circle K’s just like the one a mile or two from anywhere
And the sky it looks angry like it’s breathing smoke and it looks more like ashes coming down and
less like snow
And it’s bad news, this I’m telling you and I won’t bow for mercy even if you move to prosecute the
bearer
And then execute the judge by trial and error

And there’s no good reason
Legal or otherwise
That we can’t figure out a plan to push around this weather

Another notch on the coffee card like a scarred up passport stamped in every town assaulted out
along the way
And lately I have found that when I look around at faces of folks that I’ll likely only see today
It’s hard to read the meaning in their eyes when it resembles something between apathy and terror
And they don’t know what to make of a ragged wayfarer
And there’s no good reason
Legal or otherwise
That we can’t figure out a plan to push around this weather
And there’s no good reason
Legal or otherwise
That we can’t tear into the heart of it together

Well I stopped praying long before I even learned to talk but I believe in right and wrong and rigged
and fair
And that beauty’s in the eyes of the wearer

And there’s no good reason
Legal or otherwise
That we can’t figure out a plan to push around this weather
And there’s no good reason
Legal or otherwise
That we have to turn around and head for shelter
Let’s tear into the heart of it together

I’m stopped to top up on caffeine and gasoline This Circle K’s just like the one a mile or two from
anywhere
