3-LANE HIGHWAY WALTZ

Dancing in the traffic
destination in mind
Looking for an off-ramp
and the right sense of time

1000 white crosses 
along highway one
Some of us won't make it
as we head into the sun.

In the guise of road safety 
we get bad dreams.
watching the same people die
10 times a night on the TV screen.

Watch your road rage 
Don't need another life lost.
Doing the 1,2,3-lane, peak hour highway waltz

Battering ourselves like snapper
at the fish 'n chip shop
Fearful of leaving the house
In case we get stopped;
Wondering how to get to heaven
in a space ship doing the Halle Bop. >>
