The North
by: StarsIt's so cold in this country
Every road home is long
He had a map that he bought
For the price of his soul
He had a reason to go there
And a warm place to stay
And when it came time to leave
It was never the right day
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
There was a girl who he married
And he left her behind
He couldn't picture her face now
It was like he was blind
Up at five in the morning
Every breath was a stone
It's so cold in this country
You can never get warm
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
It's a strange disappearance
It's a real mystery, is he asleep in the snow?
Does he feel free?
There's a person he once was in a place far away
It's so cold in this country
I told her in May
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor, survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
