WIND AROUND THE CENTURY
words and music by Alex Cosper

Wide awake on a sleepy trail
desert sky gone dark
on a long lonesome highway
to an imaginary theme park

Wind around the century
time is full of memories
in the shadow of a distant dream
it never comes true or so it seems, oh yeah

I've played around with fear and sin
I've peaked behind the forbidden door
I've been to hell and back again
but I never knew just what I was looking for, oh yeah

Wind around the century
in search of infinity
it's time to test imagination on a quest
we're waiting for the real thing
maybe we'll see a surprise
wind around the century
and let it open up your eyes

As I lay back in my solitude
and I hear the noise dissolve
all the things I meant to say to you
seem to find their own resolve, oh yeah

All the cracks in the city streets
fill themselves with emptiness
and I'm aware of the underground shelter
I'm aware of the abyss, oh yeah...

Wind around the century
in search of infinity
it's time to test imagination on a quest
we're waiting for the real thing
maybe we'll see a surprise
wind around the century
and let it open up your eyes
