Pushing forward, highway miles are cheaper than in town

 If you left something behind, well, try your best not to let it get you down

 The city's full of bullshit, I don't sleep there anymore

 I don't want it's schmoozy eagerness, I don't want to be it's whore

 Oh but we, we are so awestruck by the way that things just are

 Like how the sun shines 'till it's night time

 We fall asleep to the sound of passing cars

 It's that sinking sunken feeling

 That you get on the roofs of tall buildings

 Staring out over the bay or broken cityscapes that make you cry

 And it's not sad you just don't know how to begin to ask why

Just a few more cigarettes and I'll come back inside

 And do you ever get the feeling

 Something somewhere in you is still alive

 And saying "Oh and it's a big life, as big as it can be

 And if you cannot see the beauty well don't give up so easily

 And it's a weak-kneed conversation telling your new revelation

 To a choir of a more cynical nature

 "Being your ego and your id

 The part that swears to you you'll never want kids

 The part that drinks away each night

 And in the morning wakes at ten and goes to work

 So let's not be so bitter at least not just yet

 I keep meaning to say everything's ok

 Well how presumptuous is that?

 And sure we all get hurt sometimes

 And sure we all feel ashamed

 But if our friends can't help us through these things

 I don't know what friendship means

 And I don't know just what it is I'm trying to say
