The Roads I Used to Walk

about

from the album Pan-American Highway

lyrics

My fingers on the vines
As i crawl from the ravine
I climb the stairs up to the cliff
To a place id never seen
I cut through yards and living rooms
Chased by snakes and dogs
Looking for the roads i used to walk

The planets cannot guide me
When the clouds in freedom run
And the morning star is blotted out
By the midnight sun
Ive got a map and compass
But still keep getting lost
As i try to find the roads i used to walk

The storefront that was yellow
Has since been painted red
And the gutter where i kissed her
Is a sculpted river bed
The triple feature movie house
Is a supper club for swanks
And the psychedelic circus
Is a cashless global bank

I almost made it when the bus
Took an unexected turn
Some people never know
What others never learn
Theres no one left to tell me
As i near a nearby block
That ill never find the roads i used to walk
