Two Remain Letra

Home alone, or out on the road

You can measure a life in miles

They know us better than we know ourselves

And we're not allowed to forget

They all look different but they talk the same

And we're not allowed to die yet.



But the money comes, and it follows the sun

With a snowstorm close behind

By the time it's all blown over

It's kinda blown our minds

They're picking us off like snipers

On a mountain high above

And we fall away, one by one

They're killing us with love.



Now just two remain

Like a midnight train

Like a jet plane

Running out of gas above the sea

They can't get by

Although they try

They don't ask why

They crash again and again and again.



Six years later, it's a crying shame

But we just can't stand each other

Nobody knows just who's to blame

We used to be like brothers

They tried to lock us in the past

But it just sped up the end

Now he's saying things about me

And he used to be my friend.



Just two remain

Like a midnight train

Like a jet plane

Running out of gas above the sea

They can't get by

Although they try

They don't ask why

They crash again and again and again.



I don't think about the golden years

It just makes me feel old

Although that cloud had a silver lining

It never matched up to the gold

Golden records, golden stars

Banks all full of solid gold bars

Golden hair, golden cars

Gold chains keep us who we are.



Only two remain

Like a midnight train

Like a jet plane

Running out of gas above the sea

They can't get by

Although they try

They don't ask why

They crash again and again and again.
