Lyrics
[Verse 1] Askew Road, with charm of napalm A second home, with love for you all Askew Road, with bulletproof vows Always facing hostility and doubt [Chorus] You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can Like a deep loss, already restored Humane and deeply flawed [Verse 2] Askew Road, with cigarette burns A second home, with love for you all Askew Road, with bulletproof vows Always facing hostility and doubt [Chorus] You make your beds, boys, and clear your heads, boys Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can Like a deep loss, already restored Humane and deeply flawed [Bridge] Most bands have got no respect for us at all, which is fine because We didn't form a band to get respect from other musicians, you know? That was never important criteria to us It's just tragic, I think [Outro] Askew Road, a place in my heart Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
