Highway Lyrics

Jandek Highway

I can't believe I'm here
With all the deaths I almost died
And then woke up in another place
Disoriented, I shook my head
What, where, how
Who, when, how much
What an escapade that was
And here I'm shooting like a star
In the sky
What a thrill that death ride was
But I'm glad to be alive and well
Let me check my parts
And see if I'm all here
Let me collect my thoughts
And organize my mind
Let me remember myself
All over again
Yes I've got to go
And I've got to stay
And be careful about the chasm in the road
Don't fall down there, you might not come back
If it hurts bad enough, you'll get knocked out
And maybe wake up in another body, or a rock
Or a lake, or a tree, or a cloud
You might even not know what you are
You might not be anything at all
For millions of years
Or for all of the time
To be no thing is a dream I had
Do you come close, or is it far away
Are you a highway for a lot of souls
I can't believe I'm here
