The Blue Suit Wanderer

Verse 1

Old dust

On a blue sleeve

Wind rips through the hollow metal ribs

Of a bird that fell

Long ago

Hard sun

Heavy lead

Cold water tastes like metal in my mouth

I keep moving

Westward

Where the radstags run

Chorus

The wanderer rides alone

The wanderer finds no home

Over the hills

Over the waste

Looking for a ghost

Just a shadow of a face

The wanderer rides alone

Verse 2

Green skin

In the schoolyard

Big hammer swinging at my tired head

I pulled the pin

Counted three

Then I ran

Dog meat

Scraps and bone

Always barking at the things I cannot see

I carry the weight

Of a dead world

Limping south

Past the crater's edge

Where the fire breathes

Chorus

The wanderer rides alone

The wanderer finds no home

Over the hills

Over the waste

Looking for a ghost

Just a shadow of a face

The wanderer rides alone

Bridge

Maybe there is water

Maybe there is peace

Maybe there is some way out

The radio plays an old tune

Crackling through the storm

I remember his eyes

I remember his voice

I remember the vault

Verse 3

Iron

On my hip

Vault boy smiling on a plastic wrist

Counting the clicks

Fast and loud

Blue suit

Turned to grey

Walking till the desert eats the sky

I had a name

I had a room

Now I have

Nothing but the road

And a hungry gun

Chorus

The wanderer rides alone

The wanderer finds no home

Over the hills

Over the waste

Looking for a ghost

Just a shadow of a face

The wanderer rides alone

Outro

Walking alone

Walking alone

Walking alone

Into the grey

Beyond the hills

Where the wind dies

In the dust

Alone
