Night Driving Songtext

von David Thomas and Two Pale Boys

I knew I'd end up alone,
Driving thru the night,
Going somewhere lost -
Afraid to be found.
Like a dime store neon novel,
Overpriced cheap food is my fate.
There is a buzz,
Which is cold, then hot.
Too much love too far lost.
Too much hope too far away.
The morning is a shimmering mirage.
It rises from the asphalt,
Like every other ghost town that I've ever known.

Some days I feel like a motherless R A G E!

The sky was talking to me.
Afraid to look up I frame the future in cinemascope.
And they don't make these colors anymore.
Yeah, they'll forget everything given half a chance.
There is a man who says there is no time,
But he's wrong.
It's a case of cause & effect -
The future unfolds to be a consequence of right now.
I keep my eye in the frame -
I frame the future in cinemascope.
It's a case of cause & effect.
I keep my eye in the lane.
I keep my eye.

The map is a road.
And the road is only a means to an end.
But the end is somewhere out there.
The end is always...
Out there.

"See-ya-round, suckah!"

I knew I'd end up alone,
Driving thru the night,
Going somewhere lost -
Afraid to be found.
Like a dime store neon novel,
Overpriced cheap food is my fate.
A buzz which is cold then hot -
Too much love too which is too much not.
And the end is always out there,
Somewhere out there.
Suckah!
