5 to 1 he is halfway to town
His friends hold the fort down
They can't be trusted but they'll do for now
The smell of gasoline and the taste
Of the quiet life, through the whole night
before the rest came down to say
Our friends somehow know too much
but they can run out to the lines
They have seen everything at once
When I found the spot on the WMA
There was only one way in or out
Of the cleared out spot we talked about
He said I'll be here for weeks
Don't tell your friends or family
Where you found me
Now he's moved away to the southern haunt
He sees a never-ending landscape
He sees everything at once
Chorus
Past the lines in the dead pine trees
The foundation barely stands
The water stays frozen till
The early spring begins
The systems here underneath the ground
Of rivers and caves alike
The creatures that can't walk by day
Can roam here all the time
