well the rubies and i are heading forward
and the diamonds are heading back
and the signs are built from emeralds
making clear the beaten path
and the pavement sure looks pretty
oily wet and shining black
an internal combustion prayer
that this road is the right track
well i’ve seen you through condensation
and the yellow bronze speed of light
but the axles spin at different speeds
hollow remnants of the sight
like the turbulent clouds that trail each tire
like the darkness that surrounds every light
but every single morning
follows every single night
well i don’t know where i’m going
but i pray i can remember where i’ve been
and our lives exist somewhere in between
where this world stops and the next begins
and the odds are i won’t see you
when the final curtain calls
on this road that promised so much
but won’t support us when we fall
