The Way

Song by Fastball, from album "All The Pain Money Can Buy".


They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

[outdoor's reverberation:]
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down, they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

*  

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
(And) it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
(They) won't make it home, but they really don't care
(They) wanted the highway
(They're) happy there, today
Today!

(The) children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
(They) left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
(But) where were they going without ever knowing the way?

[repeat *]

[instrumental interlude]

[cars sounds]

[repeat *]

[pause with electronic sounds and wind gust]

[instrumental interlude]

[cars sounds]
