Turnpike Divides-Thursday

[00:08.56]. [00:16.93]There's a thousand black cars [00:19.18]Driving around in my blood stream [00:21.87]I'd have to take a thousand pills [00:24.12]To find out where their headlights lead. [00:27.06]Is it cold New York? [00:29.31]Is it freezing in your bed? [00:32.25]Because I caught a deep chill [00:34.12]When I went over the Hudson again. [00:36.81]. [00:37.44]It's alright, counting city lights, [00:42.88]Where the Turnpike divides, [00:44.94]Waving goodbye to my former life. [00:46.69]. [00:47.17]I don't want to be a self-medicator [00:49.55]But it's hard to sleep when you're born to run. [00:52.17]I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap [00:54.42]But all the roads are pointing home again. [00:58.86]. [01:07.92]Holy Cross has got a headstone all picked out for me [01:13.11]And my only job is to walk around [01:15.48]until I fall down at its feet. [01:17.98]Maybe home is just the place you can never escape: [01:23.05]From the Camden City graves [01:25.74]to the edge of the Palisades [01:27.74]. [01:28.67]It's alright, counting city lights, [01:33.61]Where the Turnpike divides, [01:35.68]Waving goodbye to my former life. [01:37.23]. [01:37.48]I don't want to be a self-medicator [01:40.17]But it's hard to sleep when you're born to run. [01:42.36]I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap [01:45.05]But all the roads are pointing home again. [01:50.24]. [02:02.33]And I'll be counting the city lights [02:05.28]Blinking on and off tonight as life passes by [02:11.66]And I'm left behind, standing on the shoulder [02:15.65]of the Jersey Turnpike. [02:19.40]Buildings seem to rise like coffins full [02:23.91]of stars getting buried in the sky. [02:26.84]You want to laugh and dance, [02:29.34]to be free? Well, alright [02:36.03]. [02:38.65] [02:54.78]I've been thinking [02:58.66]about those days I wanted to sleep [03:03.03]And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave [03:09.72]And I'd fall back into a dream: [03:17.16]Walking in fresh city snow [03:20.78]that you'd never seen [03:23.03]And I'd never leave your side.
