Lyrics

I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no returning
No looking back or down
A conscientious objector		(Verse 1)
To the war that's in my my mind
I'm leaving in a lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine

I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition				(Pre-Chorus)
Onto Desolation road
Where I'm a...

Castaway, goin at it alone
Castaway, now I'm on my own
Castaway, goin at it alone		(Chorus)
Castaway, now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound...
Castaway

I'm ridin on the night train
And driving stolen cars
Testin my nerves
Out on the boulevard			(Verse 2)
Spontaneous combustion
In the corners of my mind
I'm leaving in a lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Verse 1)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
