Amy worked in a bar in Exeter

Terrified of her own insides

Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Hearst

She can't remember which came first

The house the home or the terrible thirst

She keeps having dreams

And on the worst days

When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes

She's got her cowboy boots and her keys on the bed stand

So she can always run

She could get up and shower in half an hour

She'd be gone

An antique compass for a sailor's escape

Just an imprint on the bed sheets
Dm Am
And by the roadside with my thumb out

A car pulls up and Bob's driving

So I climb in we don't say a word
C G
As we pull off into the sunrise
Dm Am
And these rivers of tarmac
C G
Are like arteries 'cross the country
Dm
We are blood cells

Alive in
C
The blood stream

and the beating heart of the country
Dm Am
We are electric pulses
C G
In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country

We are electric pulses

In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm
We are electric
Am C
In the sleeping soul of the country
G
(the sleeping soul of the country)
