Track Insight / Lyrics
Interstate #1, my solitary ride
Outskirts of the city, a twinkling divide
O'er electronic billboards, disoriented I roam
A traveler without purpose, fueled by diesel and lonesome tone
Winding mile markers blend in shades of night
This endless ribbon unwinds, salty sea in sight
Restless cruising, searchlights tracking in the dark
I'm haunted by the ghosts of highways left behind, leaving marks
Keep on driving, there's no place to roam
When leaving is your business, the road's your home
In the city lights, the highway signs, the buckled lane
I'll chase the motorway mirage, 'til it's time to retreat
Fizz of a soda can, flutter of blown tire
Underneath the strip mall glimmers, a poolroom fire
Long-distance tales and strangers becoming friends
A fleeting connection, overhauled and polished, till we bend
Winding mile markers blend in shades of night
This endless ribbon unwinds, salty sea in sight
Restless cruising, searchlights tracking in the dark
I'm haunted by the ghosts of highways left behind, leaving marks
Keep on driving, there's no place to roam
When leaving is your business, the road's your home
In the city lights, the highway signs, the buckled lane
I'll chase the motorway mirage, 'til it's time to retreat
We're ghosts on the grid, specters of the night
Racing through the hours, a kaleidoscope blight
Mirage at every mile, elusive, never quite attain
Still, that's the siren song, beyond the city's stain
Keep on driving, there's no place to roam
When leaving is your business, the road's your home
In the city lights, the highway signs, the buckled lane
I'll chase the motorway mirage, 'til it's time to retreat
Fading strip malls, tower lights recede in the haze
Suburban speed
WAY dreamin' loses its warm gaze
The motorway mirage recedes, just more blacktop and dark
The solitary traveler, wandering, where the road will embark.
