Out For A Smoke Lyrics - Saw Doctors

We don't know how great a flame 

Is being sought beyond the waters of these shores 

I'm lying here directionless 

Somewhere i hear the slamming of a door 

The darkest clouds were onto me 

I'd taken to the bed both day and night 

There were times when i'd turn back the clock 

I'd love to start again and get it right 

It's gone beyond a joke 

Diesel engines in the night time 

Drawing beet down to the factory 

RIP 

The cead mile failte at the half door 

History 

The bones of our ancestors 

Are buried in the field behind the shed 

They could be lying there oblivious 

Underneath cement before I'm dead 

Roundabouts and one way streets 

Double yellow lines to beat the band 

Still takes you longer to get anywhere 

Simple things so hard to understand 

It's gone beyond a joke 

I'm going out for a smoke 

I've seem the after-birth of beauty 

Where the genius' and the monster's worlds collide 

When the swinging of the pendulum's the strongest 

It's always the greatest, wildest ride 

With the evenings getting shorter 

I wonder can we forge another dream 

Gather up the pieces and assemble one more winning team 

A century's the most you'll see 

Not a long time really to be here 

Trying to get the balance right 

The health, the drugs, the lovin' and the beer 

It's gone beyond a joke 

I'm going out for a smoke...
