A Movie Script Ending (Band Demo) Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

Whenever I come back
The air on the Railroad is full of the same sounds
And the shopfronts on Holly are dirty words
Asterisks in for the vowels
When we peered through the windows
New bottoms on barstools, but the people remain the same
With prices inflating, inflating

As if saved from the gallows
There′s a bellow of buzzers
And people stop working
And they're all so excited, excited

Passing through unconscious states
When I awoke, I was on
The highway, highway
Highway, highway


With your hands on my shoulders
A meaningless movement, a movie script ending
And the patrons are leaving
Leaving

Passing through unconscious states
When I awoke, I was on
The highway, highway
Highway, highway
Highway, highway
Highway, highway

And now we all know the words were true
In the sappiest songs, yes, yes
And I′ll put them to bed, but they won't sleep
Shuffling the sheets to toss and turn
You can't begin to get it back


Passing through unconscious states
When I awoke, I was on
The onset of a later stage
The headlights are beacons on
The highway, highway
Highway, highway
Highway, highway
Highway, highway
