Lights on the horizon,
|
Pedal to the floor.
|
You're driving nowhere fast,
|
To chase away the past,
|
But still it haunts you.
|
Keep this old car moving,
|
The spirits are at the door.
|
Opiate eyes and summer skies.
|
The gravel road it melts like pavement.
|
With the dawn arriving I can rest my bones.
|
|
I see the mirror on the water,
|
Looks like my daughter bring me something sweet to eat.
|
|
With the sun rising,
|
I can be alone.
|
Cracker Jack,
|
Needle smack,
|
Ten thousand miles a minute got me thinking,
|
Got me thinking.
|
|
I thought I told you that the sky was falling.
|
And I predicted that you'd come crawling.
|
Just put the pieces on the shelf for next year.
|
Save the rain and your tears my dear.
|
I can see for miles.
|
Because the moon illuminates this lonely highway,
|
I can see for miles.
|
Your smile illuminates my lonely eyelids.
|
|
Driving thru the desert and the darkness drags me in.
|
The blinding light of rage,
|
Open my cage,
|
I'm on front stage.
|
Reflection of the moonlight on my pale burning skin.
|
I close my eyes,
|
I visualize myself asleep and dreaming.
|
Faces by the roadside whisper in my ear.
|
Someone drives up next to me,
|
And I shout at the top of my lungs
|
"Can you hear me?"
|
I try to ignore them but they're coming in too clear.
|
Cool, cold crazy souls all trying,
|
They're all dead but they're not lying,
|
They're not lying.
|
|
I thought I told you that the sky was falling.
|
And I predicted that you'd come crawling.
|
Just put the pieces on the shelf for next year.
|
Save the rain and your tears my dear.
|
I can see for miles.
|
Because the moon illuminates this lonely highway,
|
I can see for miles.
|
Your smile illuminates my lonely eyelids.
|
|
So alleviate the pain,
|
Breath again.
|
I know you, like a bridge over water.
|
And you know me too,
|
You're like the roller in the coaster.
|
I know you!
|
