Drifter sleepwalk, drifter sleep talk
Awake to who is following
Moving like water, moving drifting on the wind
A drifter coming in
Then I dreamt that I awoke
And all around was asleep
With eyes in the back of my head
Awake to who is following
Drifter coming in
Never touching down, never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam
Still we don't belong, drift on
At daybreak, we walk
At daybreak, we talk
Ready to tear up the world
Drifter sleepwalk, drifter sleep talk
Your everywhere is home yet you never take hold
Wanting to live everywhere not wanting to live anywhere
A twilight world in which you roam
Still you won't belong, drift on
Awake to who is following
Moving like water, moving drifting on the wind
A drifter coming in
Then I dreamt that I awoke
And all around was asleep
With eyes in the back of my head
Awake to who is following
Drifter coming in
Never touching down, never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam
Still we don't belong, drift on
At daybreak, we walk
At daybreak, we talk
Ready to tear up the world
Drifter sleepwalk, drifter sleep talk
Your everywhere is home yet you never take hold
Wanting to live everywhere not wanting to live anywhere
A twilight world in which you roam
Still you won't belong, drift on

This song recalls my days of drifting through the Western states in the early 1990s. Absolute freedom, absolute intensity with very little stress. Sometimes I thought she was singing right into my soul!
Nomadic freedom -the journey IS the destination...we are pilgrims passing through this world to another place where the journey continues.
Sunset on the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix - how very Siouxsie-esque.
That's a great story. Thanks for sharing. I lived in West Texas in the 90's, I remember the long trips back to Dallas and even further east to see family while I was in college. I always had some SATB and went through nursing school obsessed with this album/ tape. I can say that Siouxsie and the Banshees got me through a lot of that.
It's great to connect with other Banshees fans. <br /> There is so much vapid nonsense at this site - but a true word from the heart about great music means a lot...<br /> <br /> I posted at my blog about this very experience: <br /> <br /> connecthook.wordpress.com/2014/04/12/love-lines-az/
