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!
