HIGHWAY

Living under the highway
Let me know your hero’s passing through
With a bruise-fresh face, you’re taking cover

Standing over the edge now
As the blows are raining down on you
(You) realise the night’s your only lover

Another mother’s moment ‘comes another bottle in your hedge
Drown out the light, here comes another long haul fight
Through the cracks you’re falling, crashing cars to make you feel alive

Every day your odds are shortening
Can’t you hear that Life is calling you?
Turn around, stare down the day that’s coming

(And) all the walls that you’ve been building
Blackout Dogs come slowly gnawing through
Never let them see your wound is running

(And) all the dreams you never wanted, for the Death Row patient in your head
Bring out your dead - these days will soon be over
With the love you got around you - know you’re always gonna be alright

(And) now the morning sun is rising, feel the poison start to leave your mouth
Unbind your ties, shake off the need to satisfy
Never lose that feeling, never need a reason to go back
