Lost Highway

by Lex la Dezerti - Leo - Not entered

It's already lunchtime, the road's turning grey
the desert is seeping up like an animal
there's nothing to say

it's already past time, we've passed the last stop
the wind starts it's growing
we're over the top

     the sky is a torment of lightning and rain
     we've stopped for a coffee but there's nothing to say
     there's no needle within us but we feel some pain
     and we're riding on the lost highway.

it's already nap time, the children asleep
somewhere out there in some home
while the creatures weep

it's already back there,there's sand in my eye
we'll mourn your last passing
'till after you die

     the sun never stops in it's torment of heat
     and we're all worn out and have nothing to say
     we're all so tired but wont' admit that we're beat
     'cause we're riding on the lost highway.

we've seen a road sign, a million miles ago
we've passed by the ending sand,
we don't know where to go.
