Malcolm Bauld - THE HIGHWAY'S ARMS Lyrics

While you were sleeping in the van
I was awake
Quietly watching the last drinks
We were the boring home town's bore
I was wired up and pacing
Across the floor
Rolling in midnight's thickest fog
From just off the coast
Reflections from high beams
Hiding the road
Strain just to see through the lights in the air
Still was it real
Was I even there?
Totalled in time
When I'm taken from the restaurant
Totalled in time
When I'm told things that I forgot
Totalled in time
Well I'm retracing my steps now
Totalled in time
The calloused bastards
In the highway's arms
One of hundreds of rusted vans
Lost in the night
Sore throats soaking
In caffeine
Signs say we'd been there
But you'd never know
Barely held together
For the last show
Totalled in time
When I'm taken from the restaurant
Totalled in time
When I'm told things that I forgot
Totalled in time
Well I'm retracing my steps now
Totalled in time
The calloused bastards
In the highway's arms
