The highway that we knew Lyrics by Paula Hedvig

Fields

1996

Don't be surprised by thunder
I could never be a stainless wonder
But I wish I had a sense of humour
About this bloody ugly wall I'm under
With a narrow mind I guide
Your fading light
This will never work out right
How could I stear us back again
To the highway that we knew
With all the blinking lights
With pleasures in sight
When I've been out of fuel
For weeks and months and years
I'm gonna have to repair som things
To have a chance to get there
Tomorrow I will check the prices
To bring out the good
Get rid of the spices
That'll ruin every meal I'm having
Every future bite of life I'll be saving
With a narrow mind I guide
Your fading light
This will never work out right
How could I stear us back again
To the highway that we knew
When we have placed out mines
For miles and miles 'til this town
It wasn't until we got here
That we stopped and took a pause
The sign was big and red
And appeared a bit too late
We never talked it over
We missed each other on the way
I could be fruitful you know
I could mean lust to you
We saved it 'til tomorrow
We hoped to see a brighter day
Exhausted with this stroll we took
The town is simply grey
It might be that you will find just me -
Behind the wheel
