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.
