Thursday - Turnpike Divides lyrics
[Thursday - Turnpike Divides lyrics]
Driving around in my blood stream
I'd have to take a thousand pills
To find out where their headlights lead
Is it cold New York?
Is it freezing in your bed?
Because I caught a deep chill
When I went over the Hudson again
It's alright, counting city lights
Where the turnpike divides
Waving goodbye to my former life
I don't want to be a self-medicator
But, it's hard to sleep when
You're born to run
I'm sick of living life in
The Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home again
Holy cross has got a headstone
All picked out for me
And my only job is to walk around
Until I fall down at it's feet
Maybe home is just the place
You can never escape
From the Camden City graves
To the edge of the Palisades
It's alright, counting city lights
Where the turnpike divides
Waving goodbye to my former life
I don't want to be a self-medicator
But, it's hard to sleep when
You're born to run
I'm sick of living life in
The Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home again
And I'll be counting the city lights
Blinking on and off tonight as life passes by
And I'm left behind
Standing on the shoulder of
The Jersey turnpike
Buildings seem to rise like coffins
Full of stars getting buried in the sky
You want to laugh and dance to be free?
Well, alright
I've been thinking about those days
I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream
Walking in fresh city snow
That you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side
I've been thinking about those days
I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream
Walking in fresh city snow
That you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side
I've been thinking about those days
I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream
Walking in fresh city snow
That you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side
