Holiday Inn to Holiday Inn
Two lamps beside the bed
TV slides on the lazy susan
Home fires burning my head
Treadmill dream on this egg shell foam
Sister, mother, daughter, drone
Flat line on the memory channel
Red lights flash on the instrument panel
Nothing has changed since the metre turned over
I could never name the day
Now I know I can never stop (Now I know I can never stop)
Driving that lost highway
Brain cell test to brain cell test
Two of us bunk in a six beer sleep
Two of us bunk in a six joint reek
Mom cooked eggs in aluminum pans
Memory used to run so deep
Now it runs silent or runs away
And each day films like a Groundhog Day
Nothing has changed since the metre turned over
I could never name the day
Now I know I can never stop (Now I know I can never stop)
Driving that lost highway
I'm a lake, memory is a fish breaking the surface into sunlight
Down there there's a sunken car
Some fish I wanna catch
Some I don't wanna know where they are
Driving that lost highway
I'm driving that lost highway
