Headlights I & II
and after all we're back again
don't turn on your radio
you'll block out the music
seasons pass like fingerprints
complex hearts but hard to see
we walk this corn maze in reverse
to avoid the exits
slow down...
this is the start of a night on wheels
count the headlight stars
our scars are the memories of all we've seen
street corners, alleys and bars
sometimes i think we're drowning
in the pond of our youth
and it's one more time around again
all or nothing, beginning or end
as the night closes in
and it's one more shot to make love bleed
one more kick at a glass of dreams
as the night closes in
we know we can't slow down
the shake and the rattle, the buzz and glow
we won't be shutting our eyes
our heads in the city, our hearts in the hills
following footprints and fires
maybe we won't be chosen
maybe we're on our own
we know we can't, no we can never
slow down
