Lyrics

Left Behind

[Verse 1]

Horizon turned upside down

On your way, don't turn around

All the way to always stay

Thrown up hands, you turn to rule

Standing here, my pocket full

I got my own way

[Chorus]

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind

The dirt stays inside with me

Eyes bright

Always right

Big strong thigh

You will not be turned away

[Verse 2]

On your way with laser beams

You want more things, you want more things

I got my own way

[Chorus]

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind with cat and mouse

Eyes bright

Distant night

Always right

Out of sight, you say

[Bridge]

You want more things, I got my own way

You want more things, I got my own way

You want more things, I got my own way

You want more things, I got my own way

[Verse 3]

Dig a tunnel to the copper mine

Don't sacrifice what you find

All the way to always stay

Speed devil gone freeway bound

On your way, don't turn around

I got my own way

[Chorus]

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind, my pocket full

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind

My pocket full
