SIGNING OFF

This permanent absconder
Who flew alone to the wild blue yonder
With an ultimate request not to return
Absent without leave
Knew what was to be achieved
Not forward or reverse but crash and burn

Can you hear me?
I still walk in this machine
With others near me
I can talk and I can dream
Too much incentive
For me to sit down and recite
Just be inventive
And don't lose the fight
Don't lose the fight

There's more to falling foul
Than throwing in the towel
You don't know if you'll win unless you've tried
Perpetual exclusion
Don't see the plot to it's conclusion
And there's no fucking sense in suicide

Can you hear me?
I still walk in this machine
With others near me
I can talk and I can dream
Too much incentive
For me to sit down and recite
Just be inventive
And don't lose the fight
Don't lose the fight

Wrappers, bags and crap, sit in the breeze and flap
On a city dump miles from home
Battered, ripped and rotten, discarded and forgotten
They listen to the distance all alone
Alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
Alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

Can you hear me?
I still walk in this machine
With others near me
I can talk and I can dream
Too much incentive
For me to sit down and recite
Just be inventive
And don't lose the fight
Don't lose the fight, don't lose the fight
