Anywhere Somewhere

And the road runs through From your left eye to your right Straight as an arrow, Till it runs out of sight, And built like a level In a video game Not a road rises to meet you Not a door calls your name When the train runs through There's a rattling sound Like a cast-iron snake Slipping over the ground And the only light that shines Is the hotel's neon sign Chorus: Take me anywhere that's somewhere, where there's noises and lights That would be some kind of relief Take me anywhere that's somewhere Where there's no straight lines Cause the silence is deafening me. Every Friday night The paychecks come out And the quiet is broken And the music gets loud And the room starts to shake As the voices swell And just for an hour The night is dispelled And outside the highway sleeps And the dawn is beginning to creep.
