Pushing forward, highway miles are cheaper than in town   If you left something behind we'll try your best not to let it get you down   The city's full of bullshit, I don't sleep there anymore   I don't want it's schmoozy eagerness, I don't want to be it's whore      But we, we are so awestruck by the way that things just are   Like the way the sun shines 'till it's night time   We fall asleep to the sound of passing cars      It's that sinking sunken feeling   That you get on the roofs of tall buildings   Staring out over the bay or broken cityscapes that make you cry   And it's not sad you just don't know how to begin to ask why      Just a few more cigarettes and I'll come back inside   And do you ever get the feeling   Something somewhere in you is still alive   And saying "Oh and it's a big life, as big as it can be   And if you cannot see the beauty well don't give up so easily   And it's a weak-kneed conversation telling your new revelation   To a choir of a more cynical nature      "Being your ego and your id   The part that swears to you you'll never want kids   The part that drinks away each night   And in the morning wakes at ten and goes to work      So let's not be so bitter at least not just yet   I keep meaning to say everything's ok   Well how presumptuous is that?      And sure we all get hurt sometimes   And sure we all feel ashamed   But if our friends can't help us through these things   I don't know what friendship means   And I don't know just what it is I'm trying to say
