Roadkill*

Permanent Tourist

Another version of this. Door-to-door-to-door . . .

LYRICS:
Always heading in one direction
never knowing where the next connection
is or where it is that I am going next
Should I take a right or take a left?

There’s a detour that I didn’t expect
Took me to a place I lost respect
for myself when things ground to a crawl
Stuck in second gear it’s all her fault

And then I find I’m on the road again
Lacking purpose pleasure foe or friend
Heavy metal pedal pressed to the floor
running out of gas and metaphor

Cruising with no place in mind
looking for some fun
Hope there’s nothing left behind
when I do my hit and run

Roadkill
roadkill

Turn the key I’m off to find despair
Light a smoke the wind is in my hair
Let the road dispel my sense of time
whatever else it takes to make this rhyme

At some point I’ll struggle to stay awake
Suspend my license Am I tempting fate?
I’m not stopping until I am dead
Don’t look down the needle’s in the red

The way untaken
The way untaken
