Turnpike Divides
There's a thousand black cars Driving around in my blood stream I'd have to take a thousand pills To find out where their headlights lead
Is it cold New York? Is it freezing in your bed? Because I caught a deep chill When I went over the Hudson again
It's alright, counting city lights Where the turnpike divides Waving goodbye to my former life I don't want to be a self-medicator
But it's hard to sleep when you're born to run I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap But all the roads are pointing home again
Holy cross has got a headstone All picked out for me And my only job is to walk around Until I fall down at it's feet
Maybe home is just the place You can never escape From the Camden City graves Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To the edge of the Palisades
It's alright, counting city lights Where the turnpike divides Waving goodbye to my former life I don't want to be a self-medicator
But it's hard to sleep when you're born to run I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap But all the roads are pointing home again
And I'll be counting the city lights Blinking on and off tonight as life passes by And I'm left behind, standing On the shoulder of the Jersey turnpike
Buildings seem to rise like coffins Full of stars getting buried in the sky You want to laugh and dance to be free? Well, alright I've been thinking about those days I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave And I'd fall back into a dream Walking in fresh city snow that you'd never seen And I'd never leave your side
