Road Lyrics

(2x) Keep one eye on the road The other one fixed on the one you hold

The windshield is bombarded by rain I can only see black and yellow in my brain As the colors of containers in a dark distance Flare up in my face like sparks in my pistons Fuel gage almost pointing at empty Evidently the high speed has taken a toll Break and roll very gently down to the waterfront Maybe ten feet away My 500 stallions have sent me to stay for a purpose To observe just a five minute silence A break from the circus of everyday humdrum And the effect is like a shock from a stun gun Some run far, some run fast to return soon The thought of going everpresent as it burns true A part of me is always close to the harbor Sailing with the ghost of my grandfather

(4x) Keep one eye on the road The other one fixed on the one you hold

Keys in the ignition, headlights rising Playing with the rain, but the rhythm is random I sit in abandon with a hand on the wheel But I'm still unable to leave Dazed by the slow moving mass of the cranes Sedated by the memories i only remember to forget Like a radio signal in a flash And at last I am cleansed out If you could see what I see, if you could be in my sleep If you found me, I'd be lost No cost is greater than to let go with a past like yours It doesn't make sense how nothing makes sense now Stand still, stand still But the more I command it, the more I know Leaving is nothing but an act of will And I feel my diverging path Has taken me as far as I have to go Fathers become sons, tables turned I know that I have been unaware, unconcerned Now haunted by the thought, I grab the keys Step outside and see purple On the road, out on the seas We'll be reunited within the red circle
(4x) Keep one eye on the road The other one fixed on the one you hold

(2x) Leave a light on, I'll arrive on time this time and try to stay Leave a light on if the night's too dark, the spark has gone away Far or near, tomorrow's here Follow me, and I know the road is clear What you need now is not me How could I breathe out all this fear?
