Whenever I come back The air on Railroad is making the same sounds And the shop fronts on Holly are dirty word Asterisks in for the vowels We peered through the window New bottoms on barstools But the people remain the same.
With prices inflating and inflating As if saved from the gallows There's a bellow of buzzers And the people stop working and they're all so excited, excited
Passing through unconscious states When I awoke, I was on the Highway, highway, highway, highway
With your hands on my shoulders A meaningless movement A movie script ending And the patrons are leaving, leaving
Passing through unconscious states When I awoke, I was on the Highway, highway, highway, highway Highway, highway, highway, highway
And now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs yes, yes
Now put them to bed but they won't sleep just shuffling the sheets they toss and turn you can't begin to get it back
Passing through unconscious states when I awoke, I was on the onset of a later stage The headlights are beacons on the Highway, highway, highway, highway Highway, highway, highway, highway
