Calexico - Guided By Wire Lyrics

Voices that did comfort me
Furthest from my sanity
Come from places I have never seen
Even in my darkest recollection
There was someone singing my life back to me
The life you learnt from someone else
You can only trust yourself
Sometimes that is still too much to want
Morality won't get you through the mazes
You can never travel back the way you've come
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reeling
But I owe much to the nameless
And all the surrogates
And those who are singing my life back to me
Life is not a constant thing
It is only made of short stories
I couldn't even tell you where I'm from
Guided by the voices I've perfected
Guided by the electric wires hum
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reeling
But I owe much to the nameless
And all the surrogates
And those who are singing my life back to me
Well I see you in the future skipping time
While the hours of the faithful rest in peace
Well tonight I see the highway like a ....??...
Someone singing my life back to me
Someone singing my life back to me
