Lyrics
Drive Drive to the sun Past the brittle bones of a moon-like world It's a big country and a sun-scarred land The wind howls through a winter of lies It's a long way back Down a road that everybody knows It's empty now but my eyes are framed in the rear view Does the desperation show? Drive to the sun he said Through a look that looks from far away We've trailed our dreams behind us for days Like paper shredded by the force of our passing It's a lonely road When tomorrow has got no home in yesterday All the day goes rushing west The thing's so near words catch in my throat and I can't explain East is east but West is best Your golden arms I fear to test I know a road they say is the loneliest highway in the world Have you seen it? It's as relentless as the arrow of time And just as unforgiving Drive to the sun he said Into the vanishing point Cross a dry sea bed of cobalt blue A tin can rusted Salt-encrusted lips We face a mirror We will never know what it was That has been lost from here We will never know All we can know is what we have lost instead you and I Drive to the sun he said As yet another ghost town casino forms through the shimmering heat Think of all that existential claptrap That litters the days of our lives
