Captives Lyrics by Bootblacks

Part Time Punks // Narrowed

2018

[Verse 1]
Out there in the wilderness, where did you go?
In the arms of thieves, playing make believe
In the hills and trees in which you sleep
Beneath a hungry moon, you devour dreams

[Chorus]
It's a long back
To the simple life
Darling, won't you learn?

[Verse 2]
Share the sky above
Not the earth below
Bitter winds begin to blow
Are you coming home?

[Chorus]
It's a long back
To the simple life
Darling, won't you learn?

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
It's a long back
To the simple life
Darling, won't you learn?
It's a long back
To the simple life
Darling, won't you learn?
