lyrics

With a lead heart and a lead foot I'm hanging left with a hanging head
I'm burning tread in the early AM - Am I right in the head?
I know I left, but I know it was right
I know I left just to write, but it was righteous to hurt for you -
Right to right my wrongs

…I'm downtown now, wonder how many downers taking uppers in the downtown crowd
...And I pass by neon blocks and odd-shops and even colder corners make good zombie hotspots
and they all wanna know where the road is
But I don't know, I really don't know
'cause I'm just passing through
for the neon and food

...Here come the 'burbs with the birds and their babies
with their houses and their fences and depression and Mercedes
And I'm counting mail boxes so I know how far I've gone
in the Grid of Falling Dreams so I don't end up getting lost

...City... satellites for the next few miles and... a thousand miles to go...
There's a long road winding on
and there's a sugersweet breeze pouring through my windows

I'm going for a nightdrive
on the road that leads away
To be by myself and create what I like
I'm going for a nightdrive
Some air will clear my cloudy mind
Don't wait up, I'll be out all night
I'm going for a nightdrive
on the road that leads away
To be by myself and create what I like
I'm going for a nightdrive
to think on things that make me cry
and I don't think I'm coming back this time

With a lead foot and a lead heart I'm hanging left with a hanging head
I'm not right in the head
I see it
in the distance:
VENI
VEDI
VICTUS SUM
…You chose the victim...
...Now choose your gun...

Revolver riding shotgun and shotgun riding hitch -
pick it up, ditch it, or cock it, you cocky bitch
Time to commit or burn up, you comet
Come on! driver, forgive or commit
You submit, you give in: you give up
There's a nihilism 'bout you now
It looks good in the rearview windows
With a sugarsweet breeze through the windows

I have the energy
for one last nightdrive
off into the midnight
With loftier dreams than I can reach
and with time slipping by,
like the shadows on the road,
into lightcast form and reaching void,
the ending page escaped

Save it for me, okay?
Survive me when I'm gone
Survive my when I'm gone
Into yon and yonder void,
there's a long road winding on
But at least for the journey unknown
there's a sugarsweet breeze pouring through my windows

I'm going for a nightdrive
on the road that leads away
To be by myself and create what I like
I'm going for a nightdrive
on the road that leads away
To be by myself and create what I like
I'm going for a nightdrive
to think on things that make me cry
and I don't think I'm coming back this time
