Any road (written in 1988, opening track to "Brainwashed", 2003)
Oh I've been traveling on a boat and a plane In a car on a bike with a bus and a train Traveling there and traveling here Everywhere in every gear
But oh Lord we pay the price with a Spin of a wheel - with a roll of a dice Ah yeah you pay your fare And if you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there
And I've been traveling through the dirt and the grime From the past to the future through the space and the time Traveling deep beneath the waves - in watery grottoes and mountainous caves
But oh Lord we've got to fight With the thoughts in the head with the dark and THE light No use to stop and stare And if you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there
You may not known where you came from May not know who you are May not have even wondered how you got this FAR
I've been traveling on a wing and a prayer By the skin of my teeth by the breadth of a hair Traveling where the four winds blow With the sun on my face - in the ice and the snow
But oooeeee it's a game Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're lame Ah yeah it's somewhere And if you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there
But oh Lord we pay the price With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice Ah yeah, you pay your fare And if you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there
I keep traveling around the bend There was no beginning, there is no end It wasn't born and never dies There are no edges, there is NO SIZE Oh yeah, you just don't win It's so far out - the way out is in Bow to God and call him Sir But if you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there
