Traffic Jam Songtext
von Bachman & Turner

Traffic Jam
Randy Bachman

Lightning stikes inside of my brain
I wonder if it′ll happen again
This never was really part of the plan
Traffic jam

Screaming nightmares that nobody hears
Still running crazy after so many years
Is life just something we hold in our hands
Traffic jam

And as the dreams unravel
So many roads to travel
Life is a battle in the palm of your hand
You take each hit you pay your dues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Life's like a sandbox without sand
It′s a traffic jam, it's a traffic jam


Rag dolls and broken airplanes
Empty toy box and pieces of games
Parts of this puzzle I don't understand
Traffic jam

The organ grinder is down on his luck
So is the monkey with a little tin cup
Who′s running this circus and where do I stand
Traffic jam

And as the dreams unravel
So many roads to travel
Life is a battle in the palm of your hand
You take each hit you pay your dues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Life′s like a sandbox without sand
It's a traffic jam, it′s a traffic jam

Is there a place where everyone goes
When they come to the end of their road
If there's no heaven, it′s all been a scam
Traffic jam


And as the dreams unravel
So many roads to travel
Life is a battle in the palm of your hand
You take each hit you pay your dues
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Life's like a sandbox without sand
It′s a traffic jam, it's a traffic jam
