Warren Zevon - Gridlock lyrics

It's 5 PM on a weekday, friend
There's one of me and two million of them
The whistle blows and the factories close
There's a million more commuters
On the access roads the brake lights flash
There's an RV crashed
I'm in the passing lane going nowhere fast
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl

Gridlock, up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock, goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream

Oh, yeah, ain't it a shame?
We're all jammed up at the interchange
The paramedics and the CHP
Wait impatiently for catastrophes
I'm spending half my days like this
I might as well be working
On the midnight shift
The radio's tuned to the traffic news
And everybody's choking on monoxide fumes

Gridlock, up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock, goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream

I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream yeah!

It's 5 PM on a weekday, friend
I'm going home, but I don't know when
I hate this traffic and I hate this town
Gotta honk my horn, try to get around
I feel like going on a killing spree
Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl

Gridlock, up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock, goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream

Hey, hey let's get moving
Hey, hey let's get moving
Hey, hey let's get moving
Hey, hey let's get moving hey, hey
Hey, hey hey, hey
Hey, hey
