On the highway sputtered out
Done with this direction
Froze in the seat my so called soul
Left without leaving a letter
There was a self-destructive spirit
And the tendency to complain
Took a toll on the church bell
Then toppled with a statue’s weight
Back down the ramp to the subway
I let it go I let you know I let it go for good
Everyday the corner
Backs away from me
Most uncomfortable sailor
Heading for anxiety sea
There was a steadily blooming beacon
Most welcome sight in the morning fog
I was the picture of textbook indecency
Whatever's right I could have made it wrong
Knew they were right, still rather be wrong
Repeating the same mistakes
If only for old times sake
In my dreams I sing to the rivers and the clouds alone
Moments of notoriety, echelons of entirety
Faded back for a moment when I heard that tone
Side of highway sputtered out
Done with this direction
Nowhere to go, no one to know
To the wishing well I send my confession
My desert graveyard
I’ll send a postcard
For a better ending
Go ask a friend
