  • Drag my tongue across the sand
    So happy just to crawl across the land
    Soon I'll be the best around
    I'm gonna keep my plunder underground
    Hard flesh cold against the rain
    Dust billowing around my brazen brain
    Saw off all my stinking limbs
    Blood dripping down my sunken money chin

    Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)?
    Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)?
    Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past)
    Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past)
    Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)?
    Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)?
    Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past)
    Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past)

    Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
    Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive

    Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
    Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive

    Two thumbs across the Rubicon
    Slack jaw but you'll never be passing it on
    Plug hole, down the drain you go
    Your body never made it past the snow
    Canine fangs about my throat
    You're bleeding over Eden like a goat
    Tall blade dripping in every field
    I'm blooming like a fuming human shield

    Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)?
    Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)?
    Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past)
    Girl, I'm from the very very (distant past)
    Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)?
    Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)?
    Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past)
    Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past)

    Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
    Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive

    Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
    Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive

    Past, past, past, past, past, past

    Take me to the distant past, I want to go back
    Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Writer/s: ALEX ROBERTSHAW, JEREMY PRITCHARD, JONATHAN HIGGS, MICHAEL SPEARMAN
