Straight On 'Til Morning

Straight On 'Til Morning - The Legendary Pink Dots

Out here nothing matters

There is the road on my right

There is a wall on

My left and I walk slowly backwards

My arm stretched out in the hope

That someone will stop and carry me to

A place that simply isn't here

But although the highway is full of lights

Well I could be transparent

I think it's been days months years

This road is my past This road is

My now and I'm out here and nothing matters

Sometimes I close my eyes

And I see a face

But it's not a face that I know

And it's always different

And I know nothing except this road

It's endless backwards

I'm trying to attract the light to me

And it comes to me

But it blinds me and

It flies past my shoulder over and over

One thousand times a night

An endless night

Blazing impatient lights flying past me

As the night presses down on my tired body

But there's no place to

Rest and there's no time to stop

Nothing exists except this lonely

Road and it's endless

It's backwards and I'd like to turn around but I can't
