Packed up in a van.
No time waste,
Straight from Japan.
A little story,
One for the books.
Flying blind with
No second looks.
Got harassed as we
Drove through Texas.
We hope no one forgets us.
Keep on moving east,
Straight into the belly of the beast.

On the 10 freeway,
A thousand miles away.
Not a single plan.
Just drive straight across the land.
And we said…

The only thing we ever knew
Was the cold inside, cold inside.
The only thing that pushed us through
Was we felt alive, felt alive.

The only thing we ever knew
Was the cold inside, cold inside.
The only thing that pushed us through
Was we felt alive, felt alive.

So close,
Yet so far to go.
Snow falling,
Sliding through Buffalo.
No chains,
Can we make it there on our own?
Broke down,
Walked a mile to the nearest payphone.
Come along
And I'll tell you how this goes.
Missed the first spot,
Played the rest of our shows.
Three weeks living in an icebox van.
Montreal was rad, let’s do it again.

On the 10 freeway,
A thousand miles away.
Not a single plan.
Just drive straight across the land.
And we said…

The only thing we ever knew
Was the cold inside, cold inside.
The only thing that pushed us through
Was we felt alive, felt alive.

The only thing we ever knew
Was the cold inside, cold inside.
The only thing that pushed us through
Was we felt alive, felt alive.

All the way, or no way
Is the only way for us!
Gonna play or bust if we must!
(Bust if we must!)
