A million miles an hour
We swallow dotted lines tonight
And we ingest the pavement
Ignore the passing lights
And the streets they call our names
They call our names
We'll never feel the same
Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories are shadows ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home.
Across the street the river runs.
Down in the gutter life is slipping away.
Let me still exist in another place,
Running down under cover
Of a helicopter blade.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
