lyrics

Shore leave
Lower than low
Got a habit
And no-one knows
Eastbound, there is no place to go

Shore leave
Change of address
Milder climes and decadence
There’s nothing I wouldn’t leave behind

Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display

So does it matter if you die?

Take the bait
Take the hook
Oh, you know
We’re here to set you free

So does it matter if you die?

Here to set you free

Shore leave
Distant X
Interference, unreadable
And dense
So much talk, it’s all for sale

Shore leave
Everything shines
On the other side
The good fight
Always knew I’d take the easy way out

Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display

So does it matter if you die?

Take the bait
Take the hook
Oh, you know
We’re here to set you free

So does it matter if you die?

Here to set you free

Born to run
Born to lie
Say the words
Duplicity, my bride

You’re all talk
You’re all eyes
Name your price
Electricity, mainlined

Where you been?
Take a seat
Take a look
At the treasure on display

Here to set you free
