There’s a star on every highway There’s a name on every street But the roads don’t travel my way And the corners never meet Frozen smiles on all the faces Wooden hands that shake my own All the broken promise keepers Love me till I’m all alone
People get along with nothing Copper pennies, make them smile They learn to dance to any music Dancing’s not my style But must I be the audience To everything I see? Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me
In around and all about me I hear laughter through the smoke When was I disqualified? Funny, I don’t get the joke Everything I want I get As long as it won’t bring me joy The sum of my desires Is the value of a broken toy
People drink the wine of friendship People eat the bread of love Life is sticking in my throat And dust is what it tastes of Why must I be the audience To everything I see? Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me
Like a swan upon a mirror My reflection doesn’t change I don’t know how to make a ripple And even I can see I’m strange Everybody’s is doing battle Protected by a cross or a star Is it easier to think That you know who you are?
Can I drink the wine of friendship? Can I eat the bread of love? Life is sticking in my throat And dust is what it tastes of Why must I be the audience To everything I see? Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me…
