Grey bus idling in the rain
Cold glass pressing on my vein
I got a lens to catch the blur
Wait for the engine start to purr
Streetlights flashing gold and white
Cutting through the heavy night
One way ticket in my hand
Leaving this forgotten land
Tires humming on the damp asphalt
Running fast it is my own fault
Black road winding like a silver snake
Following the path that I had to take
Flash bulb pops in a sudden glare
Static charging in the humid air
Capture the salt on the driver's face
Moving out of this hollow place
Streetlights flashing gold and white
Cutting through the heavy night
One way ticket in my hand
Leaving this forgotten land
Tires humming on the damp asphalt
Running fast it is my own fault
Black road winding like a silver snake
Following the path that I had to take
Damp wind whipping through my thin coat
Sinking low like a heavy boat
Canyon walls rising steep and high
Slicing through a purple velvet sky
Tires humming on the damp asphalt
Running fast it is my own fault
Black road winding like a silver snake
Following the path that I had to take
Click the shutter on a lonely sign
Crossing over the painted line
Wet oil rainbows on the dark concrete
Rhythm drumming to a steady beat
Tires humming on the damp asphalt
Running fast it is my own fault
Black road winding like a silver snake
Following the path that I had to take
Miles of highway in a steady flow
Watching all the city taillights glow
No one knows where the bus will stop
Till the final heavy curtain drop
Tires humming on the damp asphalt
Running fast it is my own fault
Black road winding like a silver snake
Following the path that I had to take
Humming on the road.
Just a snapshot on the road.
Keep it rolling.
