Highway

You turn out the light when the dawn's taking over

Stayed up half the night, holding my eyelids open

I wanted to see the moment the sun beat the electricity

I witnessed a crime on the emptying highway

I don't have the time to lose any speed

Got two days to drive all that is mine

In the back, on the seat

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

You stop to get gas 'cause the day's getting slower

You won't have to ask when you arrive, you believe

It's too late for food, so you survive off of ten penny sweets

You think that you've passed 'cause the sun's getting lower

You show up to class, act like you don't need to read

This night is a mask for the high that you ride when you leave

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Rolling down the glass to stick your head out

Surely dusk will last until you've stopped the car

Rolling through the dark until your headlights hit the yard
