standing by the raceway
watch the smoking wheels
eyes on the green light
but I'm not gonna rush
surely there must be a sacred spirit, leading me through another day
all these years I can't believe it, I haven't found a better way
Standing on the midway
looking at the trash
sun'll make you wither
it's as fatal as a kiss
Standing in a fire
watch the edges curl
touch me with your money
mark my brow with ash
surely there must be a sacred spirit, leading me through another day
all these years I can't believe it, I haven't found a better way
like a blind man in the subway when the lights go out
all you people clinging to me couldn't find one less devout
Standing on a runway
louder than a crash
lights are growing to me
I'm grateful for your touch
Standing by the freeway
counting all the cars
remind me of my girlhood
as distant now as Mars
standing on the boardwalk
smell the sugar burn
babies in their buggies
watch the seasons turn
surely there must be a sacred spirit, leading me through another day
all these years I can't believe it, I haven't found a better way
like a blind man in the subway when the lights go out
all you people clinging to me couldn't find one less devout
surely there must be a sacred spirit, leading me through another day
all these years I can't believe it, I haven't found a better way...
