Swollen Members Lyrics: HIGH ROAD

[Cut]
Definitely not my idea of a perfect trip but that’s what life’s always doin’
life is just beautiful
we need to be more appreciative of what we have and just
I take it all for granted and it’s just you know
you know I do live life day by day
but every now and then you gotta stop and just look at each day
and you think ‘wow’
look what I’ve seen in that one day

[Madchild]
It’s a wonderful thought - that I could take one road.
And end up in L.A. when it’s time to take a load off my shoulders
Cuz it gets much colder
It rains in the winter where I live
So I enter the I5
Just like this movie “Big Trip” with five drive
Cross the country
It’s the journey through new realms
The helm of an adventure
Is the capture adult film
A new millennium
The mission is essentially
Questioning characters at the turn of the century
No rush cuz they’ll get there eventually
Kinda like my career, my mind state mentally
One route to follow
...Lets keep rollin’
Desperate junkies and Silverman in New Orleans
Black Elvis
Some scenes make you smile
An alligator wrestler that chills for awile
Hold up
Is that a manger at the side of the road?
Hallucinogenics, and ecstasy caps till I interload
The high road
Not cuz of the drugs you take
Cuz of the memories you keep and the friends you make
(There’s no such thing as yesterday...)

[Chorus x4]
Bright lights and neon streets
That are beyond
There goes the high road
The one you should be on

[Prevail]
Maiden voyage
Prescriptions of millennial contacts
Saved on footage
Ships of the street and the summer heat
When rubber meets the high road
Southern rainfall
Weather and slang that change code
Highway patrol
Alcohol and Red Bull
Mediums mixed with drugs natural and chemical
The media freak show plateau
Where you land individual
Standing in the audience, my mouth moves to visual
The difference that will separate mind from brain
Comes only with experience, living on the wide open plain
So focus on the questions and the answers and the game
Incredible
The fast lane will have light flash
Unforgettable
As long as I got my friends it’s worth the pain
I’ve travelled the Earth
I’ve fallen and risen in flames
Driven the feuded domain
From the perspective of the young and protected
Camera view overviews my objective
Vote for head projector
Absorbs the milliseconds
Kilometers per reference
Speedometers will mark the entrance
We talk to residents who start sentence without reserve
I realize the things I don’t need all the things I don’t deserve
(What are you doin for the new year in the millennium man?)
So I try to live simply in a complicated world
(Probably the same thing I did yesterday, the same thing that I do tomorrow...nothing)

[Chorus x2]

[Madchild]
Broken down engines
cowboys and indians

[Prevail]
Blackjack, gunfights
saloons and women

[Madchild]
Eagles, vultures
hawks and crows

[Prevail]
Emergency exit
at the hospital

[Madchild]
Rattlesnakes
scorpions and rodents

[Prevail]
Ghost towns, truck stops
and stars explodin’

[Madchild]
In the widely open
rules apply to no man

[Prevail]
Die from a slow hand
live from the low land

[Chorus x4]
