Swollen Members - High Road lyrics

[Mad Child] It's a wonderful thought that I could take one road And end up in L.A. when it's time to take a load off my shoulders Cuz it gets much colder, an' rains in the winter where I live, so I enter the I-5 Just like this movie Big Trip, where 5 drive Across the country as they journey through new realms At the helm of an adventure as they capture it on film A new millennium, the mission is essentially, Questioning characters at the turn of the century No rush cuz they'll get there eventually Kind of like my career and mind state mentally One route to follow, best keep rollin' Desperate junkies an' silver men in New Orleans Black Elvis, some scenes make you smile An alligator wrestler that chills for a while Hold up, is that an angel at the side of the road? Hallucinogenics and ecstasy caps to lighten the load The high road, not cuz of the d** that you take Cuz of the memories you keep and the friends you make [Prevail] Bright lights and neon streets that are beyond My road's the high road, the one you should be on [Prevail] Painted voyeurs, descriptions of millennial contacts saved on footage Ships of the street in the summer heat, when rubber meets the hot road Southern rainfall, weather and slang that change code Highway Patrol, alcohol and Red Bull Mediums mixed with d** natural and chemical Immediate freak show plateau where you land individual Standing in the audience, my mouth moves the visual The difference that will separate mind from brain Comes only with experience living on the wide open plain So focus on the questions and the answers in the game Incredible, the fast lane will have, life flash--unforgettable As long as I've got my friends, it's worth the pain I've traveled the earth, I've fallen and risen in flames Driven to view the domain from the perspective of the young and protected Camera view overviews my objective, overhead projected Absorbs in milliseconds, kilometers for reference Speedometers will mark the entrance We talk to residents who start sentence without reserve I realize the things I don't need are the things I don't deserve So I try to live simply in a complicated world [Mad Child] Broken down engines, cowboys and Indians [Prevail] Black Jack, gun fights, saloons and women [Mad Child] Eagles, vultures, hawks and crows [Prevail] Emergency exit at the hospital [Mad Child] Rattlesnakes, scorpions and rodents [Prevail] Ghost towns, truck stops where stars explode [Mad Child] In the wide and open, rules apply to no man [Prevail] Die from a slow hand, live from the low-land
