Freak Flag Lyrics

You smile like a runaway train

A little kid on a fire escape

No shoes or a government name

But the blood of your mother is honest as elephants

Buck wild in the summer of strange

Sun dials and collecting the rain

Four miles to the edge of the state as we're holding each other in

Gotta keep that dream alive and let our freak flag fly

The pendulum swings wide but the space between is life

Slow build in a turbulent mind

A good will and the guts to be kind

Up hill is the battle we climb

As we're rolling another one

Broke as we've ever been

Show me the benevolent way

Cause I'm cooked and the recipe changed

Just kids like Patti once said

Didn't know what we're up against

Gotta keep that dream alive and let our freak flag fly

The pendulum swings wide but the space between is life

Gonna give it all I got

Punching in the clock

Running from the cops and dancing naked in celebration

The river never stops

It trickles from top

Thickening the plot through adaptations

We'll find our way and

Keep that dream alive and let our freak flag fly

The pendulum swings wide but the space between is life
