The Libertine Songtext / Lyric

The motorway won't take a horse
The wanderer has found a course to follow
The traveller unpacked his bags for the last time
The troubadour cut off his hand and now he wants mine


Oh no, not me.


The circus girl fell off her horse and now shes paralysed
The hitchiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside
The libertine is locked in jail
The pirate sunk and broke his sail


But I still have to go
I've got to go, so here i go
I'm going to run the risk of being free


The magicians secrets all revealed
And the preachers lies are all concealed
And all our heroes lack any conviction
They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction


So i've got to go
I've got to go, so here i go
I'm going to run the risk of being free
