On a Highway Songtext
von Animal Collective

I′m on a highway
I take a mental picture
Of the place that I live
Now it's living in me

On a highway
Thinking of the one who
I left alone and hoping
I don′t know how I'm coping

On a highway
I let the bad things taunt me
Why do they want to haunt me?
I don't know how they find me

On a highway
I′ll watch the singing driver
Only speak with fingers
He mouths the words he should say


On a highway
The pretty lady passenger
Her toes against the window
Are tapping to the tunes they

Are on a highway
And though they aren′t moving
They move by conversation
I pretend to know what they say

On a highway
Can't say how long it′s been today
I wake against the window
That's caked in cold saliva

On a highway
And when they call me lucky
For all the places I stay
It′s hard for me to not say

I can't wait
To find home

On a highway
Hypnotized by sunstroke
Passing by some deer bones
Flowers for the dead grow


On a highway
There are some workers pissing
It starts my bladder itching
Can I wait for the exit?

On a highway
The view is green forever
I′ll let some hash relax me
Get lost in human pleasure

On a highway
I'm sick from too much reading
Jealous of Noah's dreaming
Can′t help my brain from thinking

I can′t wait
To find home
