Lyrics
Angry orange sky
Tires burning down the highway
Black twisters swirling round
You swerve into the left lane
You're breathing faster now
Your heart beats faster too
A jackknifed truck on the side of the road
Slight smoke streams from the cabin
Driveway winding snakelike
Light spills from your bedroom window
Leaves crackle beneath your feet
The moon is sharp as a sickle
You're feeling fragile now
The scent of burning wood
Cats screeching in the neighbor's yard
Something scurries beneath the magnolia tree
Chorus:
But aren't you still going?
And aren't you still showing
Signs of wear and tear
And who knows where you're headed?
Nineteenth hole, martini glass in hand
Barfly conversation
Flirtatious sideways glances
True pastimes of the nation
You're breathing deeply now
She's drifting right behind you
Ceiling fans turn slowly from above
Smoke rings spiral into blackness
Chorus:
But aren't you still just sitting there?
And aren't you still so unaware?
And showing signs of wear and tear
And who knows where you're headed?
