Pere Ubu - Lost Nation Road lyrics

From out of the night and into the dawn. The rose-lighted road stretches on and on and on. The carpenters are knockin it up as I, I come into view - How this town grows! I've been searchin for the streets of gold. I don't know, this may be the day. Eldorado is paved with clay. A voice calls from the burning hot, "It ain't that good but ya know what ya got!" There's always a sign - a portion that's blown away. It points to home. Ma, I'm at a pause in a lost highway. Right from the start I knew I was running from you. How do I know? I went searchin for them streets of gold. I don't know, this may be the day. Eldorado is paved with clay. A voice calls from the burning hot, "It ain't that good but ya know what ya got!" I been searchin for them streets of gold. I don't know, this may be the day. Eldorado is paved with clay. A voice calls from the burning hot, "It ain't that good but ya know what ya got!"
