Who Built The Road Lyrics - Sunday At Devil Dirt - Isobel Campbell

Who built the road 

That left in my self esteem 

Twisted and crunched 

Black metal and bones 

Who passed the buck 

Who pressed flesh to yours 

Spilling like wine 

And sweeter than tears 

(Oh, I'll do more than survive 

With trembling visions that 

Terrify) 

So who built the road 

Who turned it all around 

Picked through the wreck 

Scrambled in the dust 

So who built the road 

Who was the foolish one 

Stepped out of time 

Two hearts in the fire 

Who lit the torch 

Who fanned the flame 

With sparks in the dust 

Spent rivers of desire 

(Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes 

We stumble along with so many more to make) 

So who built the road 

Who could foresee 

The answers we sought 

Were many miles to go 

Lah lah... 

We were so lonely at times 

Fading away 

Sitting side by side 

Now we built the road 

We were the chain gang 

We crossed that at war 

The devil at my side 

Dark angel within 

The ever lasting fire 

Lah lah...
