Trolleybus
A trolleybus (also known as trolley bus, trolley coach, trackless trolley, trackless tram [in early years] or trolley) is an electric bus that draws power from overhead wires (generally suspended from roadside posts) using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires and poles are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole (or pantograph). They also are distinct from other kinds of electric buses, which usually rely on batteries. Power is most commonly supplied as 600-volt direct current, but there have been, and are, exceptions.
Currently, around 300 trolleybus systems are in operation, in cities and towns in 43 countries. Altogether, more than 800 trolleybus systems have existed, but not more than about 400 concurrently.

Dry Lips
by: DuneI'm walking down my neighbourhood
Where every child is crying
You're the only one who sees me
You're the only one who'll kiss me
On my dry lips
My white lips
I walk around in loneliness
Your eyes has really cut me
I'm the only one who felt them
I'm the only one who touched them
And your dry skin
Your white skin
We'll detonate the streets tonight
The streets tonight
That's why you want us so
We'll detonate the streets tonight
The streets tonight
That's why you want us so
I'm running down my neighbourhood
Where everything is dying
You're the only one who see me
You're the only one who touch me
On my dry lips
My white lips
Rushing down in emptiness
Your lies have really cut me
I'm the only one who heard them
I'm the only one who felt them
And your dry lips
