lyrics

I'm not taking the bus today
I'm taking the back streets
under cover of the trees
down where roads and rivers meet

I don't want a fuss today
I just want to breathe
in between the mud and leaves
where I can hear myself think

and walking is the only thing
that comes to me more naturally
than shutting myself up inside
in spite of all that I believe
I'd rather run myself aground
or walk right out into the sea
sing CARTILAGE DELENDA EST
this skeleton's no use for knees

I'm not taking the train today
I want to see the streets
skip the cracks and crack a smile
feel the town beneath my feet
I'm pushing past the pain today
'cos I just want to be
in between the dust and dirt
where I can't hear myself speak

cry CARTILAGE DELENDA EST
this ghost has got no use for knees

I'm not taking their grief today
I'm taking back the streets
where no one knows what to believe
so no one need admit defeat

scream CARTILAGE DELENDA EST
the dead have got no use for knees

the dead have got no use for knees
