Here for the nosedive
Whatever you need
And I’m savin’ all the bold lines
I’ll say ’em while you sleep
You’re sleepin’ on the wrong side
And I’m turnin’ endlessly
Screamin’ for my lifeline, lifeline, life
Ooh, continental drifter
Still, I’m the hero of my hometown
Now I’m all laid up with you, sentimental trickster
Maybe in another lifetime, lifetime, life (oh)
In a strange land, with no plans
Surrounded by doors, yeah
I can’t find myself anymore
With foreign people, you’re my temple
I want things like they were before
But I don’t know myself anymore
With you, love was simple
My spiritual crystal
But now life is limbo
I’ll wait for tomorrow
Ooh, continental drifter
Still, I’m the hero of my hometown
Now I’m all laid up with you, sentimental trickster
Maybe in another lifetime, lifetime, life
