lyrics

SERVICE ROAD


LONG AND STRAIGHT THE SERVICE ROAD
TRUCKS AND TRAINS WITH HEAVY LOADS
A STEADY RAIN IS COMING DOWN
THE FACTORIES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE GROUNDS

CONCRETE SOOTED FROM THE SMOKE
IRON GATES CREAK AND MOAN
BETWEEN SHIFTS ALL COMES ALIVE
FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES HUMAN LIFE INTERTWINES

FACTORIES FOR MILES AND MILES
SMOKESTACKS LIKE TALL SPECTERS RISE
INDUSTRIAL REALITY HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE DREAM

THE HERDS ROAMED A MILLION STRONG
ONE HUNDRED NOW BUT WHO’S TO COUNT
PAVED OVER THE PRAIRIE WENT
THE GRASS ALONG THE ROAD IS ALL THAT’S LEFT

LONG AND STRAIGHT TO THE SKY
ASPHALT MEETS THE GRAY LINE
SUPPLIES THOUGHT TO NEVER END
ARE NOW TRICKLING DOWN FROM MINE TO SHELF

FACTORIES FOR MILES AND MILES
SMOKESTACKS LIKE TALL SPECTERS RISE
INDUSTRIAL REALITY WILL BECOME A DARK FANTASY

LONG AND STRAIGHT THE SERVICE ROAD
IRON GATES CREAK AND MOAN
ASPHALT MEETS THE GRAY LINE
SMOKESTACKS LIKE TALL SPECTERS RISE
