JOSEPH CITY EXIT SIGN CHOLLA LAKE COUNTY LINE
CRACKING RADIO MOTEL BED
COMPETE WITH THE SOUNDTRACK IN MY HEAD

20 MILES TO A TOWN TAKE A BREAK WALK AROUND
LOOK FOR WHAT IT IS OUTSIDE
GET BACK TO THE HIGHWAY AND RIDE

SO WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DO WE ALL KNOW
WHAT ROUTE DO WE TAKE AND WHERE WILL IT GO?

CRAZY CREEK HISTORICAL MARKER BIG RIG TRUCKS DRIVING BUMPER TO BUMPER
ZUNI RESERVATION QUIET CONVERSATION
YOU’D NEVER KNOW OUR LIVES DEPEND UPON IT

CEMENT PLANT CONTACT HIGH WATCHING SMOKE STACKS WRECK THE SKY
IN THIS WORLD TODAY JUST WON’T GO AWAY
PEOPLE SHRUG AND SAY, OK.

WHERE HAS THE LOGIC GONE,SMOG FILLED SKIES AT DAWN (SO WHERE ARE WE NOW? THE ROADS ALL WE KNOW
IF WE WERE TO STOP, WOULD IT ALL GO?)
AND IT’S EVERYWHERE YOU GO

WINDSHIELD FULL OF SUICIDES GUESS THEY COULD NOT FIGHT THE TIDES
