Tractor on the Motorway

I woke up like this

Like a little bug returning to it's chrysalis

Beginning of a different life

Nothing much to carry but the rolling nights

I'm a tractor on the motorway

I'll be there tomorrow if not today

And there's loads of life in my body's way

But I'll get there

I stood up like this

For a moment I forgot what living is

I saved a video

The only one of you that I didn't know

I'm a tractor on the motorway

I'll be there tomorrow if not today

And there's loads of life in my body's way

But I'll get there

I'm a little snail on a train

A moving body's a moving pain

And none of this has a given name

But I'll get there

Funny what becomes awakened when we have whole lives to ponder

Like your favourite sayings written on your kitchen wall

Like when meals become just meals then something is dying

Drink makes you feel the way you ought to feel without it

The ship in the harbour is safe but that's not what a ship is for

All of these words are written in me

I will wear them all

I'm a tractor on the motorway

I'll be there tomorrow if not today

And there's loads of life in my holy way

But I'll get there

I'm a little snail on a train

A moving body's a moving pain

And none of this has a given name

But I'll get there

I woke up like this

Like a little bug returning to it's chrysalis
