Lyrics
Grey streets deliver me away from here.
With red-rimmed eyes,
I drive all through the night.
I won't hang around with those kids from school,
because that's like giving up...
and I won't give up...
though now I'm to tired
to think about those things I should have done.
No more songs about running,
and I'm too bored to dream about fame,
for crying out loud and Pete's sake....
I'm beginning to think that time
is one big mistake.
So I've written this song,
but will it carry me over?
Will it silence the hills that keep calling me away?
And what of those horizons I heard about
on graduation day,
with those other dead kids around?
Have they disappeared without a sound?
Have I disappeared too?
Now what can carry me over?
What can bring me though?
One more song about running?
Or another song about the closing of eyes...
or a song for you?
Yes. I think it's true.
We're just waiting for this thing to be through.
It will never end, will it?
