The Great Unknown Songtext
von Ezra Furman

(Aye, aye, aye)
A song is a dream that keeps going on when it′s over (aye, aye)
A man hears a song in the soft-spoken voice of his lover (aye, aye)
A hero goes on when the others believe it's all over (aye, aye)
A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother (aye, aye)

A crow with a broken wing stands at the side of the highway (aye, aye)
A traveler finds a place to sleep at the end of a long day (aye, aye)
I speak through a telephone, you can′t decipher what I say (aye, aye)
We'll meet in Decatur, I'll tell you I love you in five days (aye, aye)


A human is something that rises and falls over time, dear (aye, aye)
Your breathing slows down and you sleep in the fluorescent light, dear (aye, aye)
We′re passing through town and there isn′t a soul we can trust here (aye, aye)
We don't use our real names, we struggle, we do what we must, dear (aye, aye)

Drive with me into the great unknown
I think we′re on our own
I think we're really on our own

(Aye, aye)
A song is a dream that keeps going on when it′s over (aye, aye, aye, aye)
A man hears a song in the soft-spoken voice of his lover (aye, aye, aye, aye)
A hero goes on when the other believe it's all over (aye, aye, aye, aye)
A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother (aye, aye, aye)
