2000 was fired out from a cannon The neighbors shot up at the lamps We piled in the street and stood for our anthems On top of the cars with bottles in hands This year crept up, who could see it coming? No one saw the signs, if any were there The distant funeral marches drumming I’ll take life, don’t care if it’s fair
Read too many tales with terrible endings Gods and machines that get in the way You thought we were home Turns out we were renting Until I am gone, I’m here to stay Taken away, our friends, our lovers By cancer, heroin, tragedy It’s not the wakes I’m worried over It’s knowing we have to go to sleep
If it’s a highway I am trying just to drive I am trying just to drive Stay awake and stay alive If it’s a highway I want you there at the side I want you there at the side Still awake and still alive
The songs we thought we’d have to bury We faced ‘em head on right away Every reason to cry, not one to worry Drive faster and further is my only change So tattoo our arms and raise our glasses Call out your names this New Years Eve And may the next time we kneel at a casket We say, “At least the story’s complete.”
If it’s a highway I am trying just to drive I am trying just to drive Stay awake and stay alive If it’s a highway I want you there at the side I want you there at the side Still awake and still aliveTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
