lyrics
As you sit behind the steering wheel of the Corolla that you rented at the airport, and highways – damp with rain that fell not one hour ago, that, a few miles away, turned a used Kerouac paperback into a wet sopping mess on the pavement – as they stretch out into the night, there is no flickering orb waiting at the end.
Your stereo is on, and the song is railing against The Man. And though you try to resist the sensation of needing somebody to hold you, whispering sweetly that everything will be okay, the woes of a thousand lonely kids writing in their journals in dimly lit bedrooms across Middle America are a suburban siren's call.
But your windshield hides from the harsh light of nothing jobs and scalding concrete saved for those days when your slipjoint just won't do. Remembering the person that you once were is difficult when you can't see through your past. Yet you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, again and again and again.
Your stereo is on, and the song is railing against The Man. And though you try to resist the sensation of needing somebody to hold you, whispering sweetly that everything will be okay, the woes of a thousand lonely kids writing in their journals in dimly lit bedrooms across Middle America are a suburban siren's call.
But your windshield hides from the harsh light of nothing jobs and scalding concrete saved for those days when your slipjoint just won't do. Remembering the person that you once were is difficult when you can't see through your past. Yet you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, again and again and again.
