Death courting life…
inextricably entwined
Most star crossed of lovers
...
Popular music,
and popular verse
Their power intrinsic,
...
The aging of time,
each year to endear
from cradle to grave
the future unclear
...
If the first casualty of war
is truth
The next casualty of war
...
In the poverty of sound
hides a final goodbye
Mortgaging the silence
with debt to decry
...
Trapped inside a wasteland,
dying inch by inch
Slave inside a rusted heart,
...
Unlike the first Revolution…
this time we have to take America
back from within
Like drug and alcohol addiction
...
You can't burn out
if not on fire
You can't be hurt
without desire
...
Your mountains and prairies are safe from me,
it's only your roads I want
89 in Utah,191 in Montana,
route 50 cutting Nevada in half
...
In the middle of nowhere…
the center of it all
Coming back to my beginning
...
