Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Finally what you came for
Finally what you hoped to find
Racin' home from her house
Lookin' out for black and white
[Verse 2]
Dark days in the summer
A million ways to toe the line
Can't wait, holy other
Might as well be the seventh sign
[Verse 3]
Ooh, it goes hand in hand
With fear for the afterlife
Ooh, how can we fight it
Fight it, if we don't even know why?
[Verse 4]
While the dollar is strong
While nobody else relies
When they turn the corner
When you know we're outta sight
[Verse 5]
Dark days in the summer
In the rain, the water's fine
It was wild combination
Either that or right down the line
[Verse 6]
Ooh, it goes hand in hand
With fear for the afterlife
Ooh, how can we fight it
Fight it,  if we don't even know why?
[Verse 7]
I've been on the way, I've been on the way
I've been on my way for so long
I've been on the way, I've been on the way
I've been on my way for so long
