It's as simple as this, here it is Couldn't spell it out more clearly There's only today, and the freeway, And the pain that keeps you near me
The animation, of sinking souls, Strung along a telephone pole
You could circle the earth We're shadowed in the same light While I'm circling the drainpipe
An invitation to just forget Well I'm not finished yet, I got big plans
Cut off the table, hon and do the math Washed out and faded like a photograph And I spell out your name across the overpass
What I miss, I will carry to the last day To the angels in the ashtray Saturation of hopeless need But as the asphalt bleeds
Someday you'll find me standing in your path Whether deep in the background of some photograph And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
Simple's hard enough now anyway Simple's hard enough now anyway
Someday you'll find me standing in your path Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass Someday you'll find me standing in your path Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass Simple's hard enough now anyway Simple's hard enough now anyway Simple's hard enough now anyway Simple's hard enough now anyway
