Drive to the sun
Past the brittle bones of a moonlike world
It's a big country and our sun is God and man
And the wind howls through winter of lies
It's a long way back down a road that everybody knows
Is empty now and my eyes are framed in the rear view
And there's a desperation show
Drive to the sun, he said
Through a look that looks from far away
We've trailed our dreams behind us for days
Like paper shredded by the force of our passing
It's a lonely road when tomorrow has got no home in yesterday
All the day goes blushing west
The thing that is so near words catch in my throat
I can't explain
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I fear to test
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I feel
I know a road they say it's the loneliest highway in the world
Have you seen it? It's as relentless as the owl can
And it's just as unforgiving
Drive to the sun, he said
Into the vanishing point
Across a dry sea bed of cobalt blue
A tin can rusted and salt and crusted lips
Your face in the mirror
We will never know what it was that had been lost from here
We will never know what it is
All we can know is what we have lost instead
You and I
Drive to the sun, he said
As yet another ghost town casino forms through the shimmering heat
Think of all that existential trap that litters the days of our lives
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I fear to test
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I feel
Drive to the sun, he said
With a look that looks from far away
We've trailed our dreams behind us for days
Like paper shredded by the force
It's a lonely road when tomorrow's got no home in yesterday
All the day goes blushing west
The thing that is so near words catch in my throat
I can't explain
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I long to test
East is east, but west is best
Your golden arms I feel
