Caught Between Two Towns

We wait, we wait for a
Sign that shows us the way

We dot a line across
The maps inside our head
Monolithic trucks squeeze us
Closer and closer to the edge

Caught between two towns
Going nowhere
Running out of speed
Rushing onwards in a moving world

With the road going on
And the dust in the air
Feel the heat from the wheels
Together we're going nowhere

The earth is brown
No need to talk or make a sound
Through towns with shopping malls
And suburbs falling down

Caught between two towns
Running out of speed
Caught between two towns
Do we really need to get there?

With the road going on
And the dust in the air
Feel the heat from the wheels
Together we're going nowhere
There's a town far away
Another one far behind
We could travel all day
Little variation we could find

At night
We crawl up to the edge
A motel and a bed
Important words are said
It's time to move ahead

With the road going on
And the dust in the air
Feel the heat from the wheels
Together we're going nowhere
There's a town far away
Another one far behind
We could travel all day
Little variation we could find

Caught between two towns
Running out of speed
Caught between two towns
Do we really need to get there?

We wait, we wait for a
Sign that shows us the way
