I have been driving all night   Bathing in fluorescent light   Of a western Tennessee gas station   With a pack of two way action   I?m subsisting on a fraction   And I close my eyes and pretend      I?m on vacation   But the lights bleed through   And it?s all green blue   There goes my imagination      My returns fill me with dread   Will my houseplants be all dead   My significant be with another   I say, "Okay where was I"   But I can?t repress a sigh   And I think I?m gonna   Yeah I think I?m gonna call my mother      Let the subject wander   To issues of blond hair   Or something or other      Like a bad haircut or a glass of cold water   Some of the things you wouldn?t ordinarily thought   A will all be lost if you let it in   Maybe I?ll never ever feel it again      I have been running all night   Bathing in fluorescent light   Of a western Tennessee gas station   With a pack of two way action   I?m subsisting on a fraction      Of what used to be a sugar free   Half melted bag of tastations   That hard candy sensation   It?s sweeping the nation      And it puts my mind in traction   I?m subsisting on a fraction   And I close my eyes   And pretend that I?m on vacation   While it melts in my mouth   Still driving south in a TV nation      Like a bad haircut or a glass of cold water   Shouldn?t I say what I really shouldn?t oughta   And you spend half a day in   Some of these places like a flash of white light   That?s in front of our faces      A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis   And we?re off to the races   Oh yeah, and we?re off to the races   Oh yeah and we?re off to the races   And we?re off to the races
