it happened fast, it's over quick.
a little dust and the engine kicks.
did your hands drift down off the wheel？
a roadowl hit your windshield？
an eyelash or a little bit of sleep？
did time stand still？
Just call it. now, and you're on your way.

hey
hey hey
hey

all the ashtrays cities and the freeway drives
broken casinos and waterslides
the 18 wheeler and the payback dives
gravity pulls on the powerlines.
a jetstream cuts the desert sky,
this land could eat a man alive.
let's say you'd leave it all behind.

hey
hey hey
hey

'tricked again.' let go.

there's a radio tower, it's egging you on.
back to the place where you never belonged.
where the people thrive on their own contempt.
whatever meaning is long gone spent.
if you had to guess or make bet,
would you place yourself inside of it？
the mountains yawn. the clouds let out a sigh.
'tricked again.' let go. okay.

hey
hey hey
hey
