Whenever I come back
The air on railroad
Is making the same sounds
And the shop fronts on Holly
Are dirty words Asterisks in for the vowelsAnd we peered through the windows
New bottoms on barstools
The people remain the same
With prices inflating, inflatingAs if saved from the gallows
There's a bellow of buzzers
And people stop working
And they're all so excited, excitedPassing through unconscious states
When I awoke I was on the high-way
High-way, high-way, high-wayWith your hands on my shoulders
A meaningless movement
A movie script ending
And the patrons are leaving, leavingPassing through unconscious states
When I awoke I was on the high-way
High-way, high-way, high-way
High-way, high-way, high-way, high-wayAnd now we all know the words were true
In the sappiest songs, yes, yes
And I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep
Just shuffling the sheets, to toss and turn
You can't begin to get it backPassing through unconscious states
When I awoke I was on
The onset of a later stage
The headlights are beacons on the high-way
High-way, high-way, high-way
High-way, high-way, high-way, high-way
