Lyrics
I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no returnand no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
war that's in my mind
Leaving in a lurch and I'm
taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where am I
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
I'm riding on the night train and
driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion in the
corners of my mind
Leaving in a lurch
and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
Into sight and sound
Of no returnand no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
war that's in my mind
Leaving in a lurch and I'm
taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where am I
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
I'm riding on the night train and
driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion in the
corners of my mind
Leaving in a lurch
and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
