Dynamite Walls

open your eyes, put it in drive
get on the road, and just go
city lights turn to tree lines and national park signs
the mountains approach as we follow lines in the road
and the air turns to falling snow

miles away, just up ahead
it doesn't matter what
any of us is looking for
-- we'll never find it because
it's not even there

i've been showing falling rock warnings
and construction work slowings
the engine blazes, the elevation raises
and the dynamite walls contain us
everyone's watching for animals crossing,
in the part of the glass that's defrosting

miles away, just up ahead
it doesn't matter what
any of us is looking for
-- we'll never find it because
it's not even there

open your eyes, put it in drive
get on the road, and just go
city lights turn to tree lines and national park signs
the mountains approach as we follow lines in the road
and the air turns to falling snow
