Who Laughs Last (feat. Kristen Stewart)

After three hours at the wheel, I found myself beyond the borders of my experience

From there, it was one alien world after another

Ghost towns, painted deserts

Hamburger stands, neon temples

Canyons carved by patient rivers

Craters gouged by giant hunks of rock flung from who knows where

The headlights quit somewhere around mile 400

But I drove on through the darksome night

Pedal down to floor, windows wide

Strange words repeating, repeating, repeating in my head

I kept my eyes on the long white lines

I drove like hell

Above me shone a terrifying number of stars

Spelling out the cold indifference of the universe

I tried to stare at the road ahead

I saw a huge storm far off on the horizon

Dark and crawling with lightning

Just looking at that churning mass set in all that immense emptiness

Made me feel something I'd never felt before

Something between awestruck and horrified

I kept my eyes on the long white lines

And I laughed like hell

I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long, long way from there

I got a burning feeling deep inside of me and don't know where to put it

Now that I left that place, I feel like someone for the first time in my life

You don't remember what I said, but you'll remember what I did

I found no solace on the radio

Nothing but crackpots and static

UFOs and white noise

Scripture and garbled frequencies

I tried to switch it off, but the dial snapped in my fingers

The volume lodged at a distorted maximum

So loud, I never even heard the sirens

I gripped the wheel and stomped the pedal

I said a meaningless prayer through my gritted teeth

I kept my eyes on the long white lines

I laughed like hell

I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long, long way from there

I got a burning feeling deep inside of me and don't know where to put it

Now that I left that place, I feel like someone for the first time in my life

You don't remember what I said, but you'll remember what I did

I sure like the feeling of an endless road

My life is still a tale untold

I've gotta stop believing in a long-gone past

If nothing stays forever, who laughs last?

I sure like the feeling of an endless road

I'm tired of doing what I'm told

I know life is fleeting, and it all goes fast

If no one lives forever, who laughs last?

Who laughs last?

Who laughs last?
