Has anyone worked out the lyrics to the wonderful song Caffeinated Warriors by Antje Duvekot? I'm about 95% there (I'm particularly proud of cracking the reference to Antoine Saint-Exupery) but a few lines are still eluding me. This is what I have so far: I settle in rooms permeated by the stories of a million strangers And their ghosts dwell in the fixtures and the walls And they disappear like the mist as it rises off the highway And the nights are too quiet and too loud And they tug at your dreams in the middle of the day Is the devil you know any better than the devil that you don't? The stage lights and the miles will never show The riches I bringing you are nothing but trinkets Mere currency between strangers And if you loved me you would let me go Goodbye Antoine Saint-Exupery and all you intrepid wanderers Goodbye Amelia and Hemmingway, you broken hearted explorers Goodbye ???? you caffeinated warriors Goodbye, goodbye to you I traded my course for fields of unfinished cathedrals To the pulsing heady calling of the southern cross I watched it pour like a flood on the surface of Lake Eyre And talking to my GPS I'm talking to God I suspect it may be written in my blood These castles of sand now stand beyond the lantern As the crow flies on the trail to Evangeline Maybe we wore our hearts too freely On the nights when we worked out The marquees of that fleeting drop of time You hunters of lightening, chasers of snow You’ve been orbiting light for the rose(?) It's a foolhardy dance and god only knows Goodbye Antoine Saint-Exupery and all you intrepid travellers Goodbye Virginia and Woody Guthrie you weary unravellers Goodbye ???? you damned and dark-haired ramblers Goodbye, goodbye to you Goodbye Hank Williams, you damned and empty-handed gamblers Goodbye, goodbye
