Nomads

We clawed through brambles and we swam through mud

Climbed over fences and kicked up some dust

Waded through trash, waded through the weeds

Wild dogs nipping at our feet

We slept in ditches and we slept in the fog

Slept in your beds while you were gone

Watched our lives get scattered and torn

Hid underground and came out reborn

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

We bled some blood, we bled some oil too

Bled on the liars so everyone knew

Fake musicians fell and we just let 'em

Singing if your lyrics were true, you probably wouldn't forget 'em

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

I met my enemies, I met my foes

Taught 'em my songs and I just made 'em join

Ate all the drugs that we were able to eat

Saw the infinite and made our peace, saying

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

We lost some lovers and we lost some friends

Some by accident, some by our own hands

But I ain't your mama, I won't take you home

We're moving forward, children, from now on

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads

Oh, Christopher

Please bless these nomads
