[Donovan: Christopher John, Jesse Dryfhout, Duet]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Lights on the horizon

Pedal to the floor

You're driving nowhere fast

To chase the past

But still, it haunts you

Keep this old car movin'

The spirits are at the door

Opiate eyes and summer skies

The gravel road

It melts like pavement

With the dawn arriving

I can rest my bones

And I see a cabin mirror on the water

Looks like my daughter

Bringing something sweet to eat

With the sun rising

I can be alone

Cracker Jack

Needle smack

Ten thousand miles a minute

It got me thinkin'

Got me thinkin'

[Chorus]

I thought I told you that the sky was falling

And I predicted you'd come crawling

Mm, no, no, no

Just put the pieces on the shelf for next year

Save the rain and your tears, my dear

'Cause I can see for miles

'Cause the moon illuminates this lonely highway

I can see for miles

'Cause your smile illuminates your lonely eyelids

[Verse 2]

Driving through the desert

And the darkness drags me in

The blinding light of rage

Open my cage

I'm on front stage

Reflection of the moonlight on my pale burning skin

And I close my eyes

I visualize myself asleep and dreaming

Faces by the roadside whisper in my ear

Someone drives up next to me

And I scream at the top of my lungs

"Can you hear me?"

I try to ignore them

But they're comin' in too clear

Cool, cold, crazy souls

All tryin'

They're all dead

And they're not lyin'

No, they're not lyin'

[Modified Chorus]

I thought I told you that the sky was fallin'

And I predicted you'd come crawlin'

Hm, no, no, no

Just put the pieces on the shelf for next year

Save the rain and your tears, my dear

'Cause I can see for miles

'Cause the moon illuminates this lonely island

I can see for miles

'Cause the smile illuminates my lonely eyelids

[Outro]

So allev...

Alleviate the pain

Breathe

I won't breathe

Breathe again (breathe again)

Yeah, I know you

You're like a bridge over water

And you know me too, no oh oh

You're like the roller in the coaster

So allev...

Alleviate the pain

So breathe

Breathe again

Yeah, I know you (no, I)

You're like a bridge over water

And you know me too (oh, no)

You're like a roller in the coaster (yeah, no)

I know you! (oh, I know you)

You're like a bridge over water

(And) you know me too (oh, oh, oh)

You're like a roller in the coaster

Yeah, I know you!
