[00:00.41] Thursday - "Turnpike Divides"
[00:08.56] .
[00:16.93] There''s a thousand black cars
[00:19.18] Driving around in my blood stream
[00:21.87] I''d have to take a thousand pills
[00:24.12] To find out where their headlights lead.
[00:27.06] Is it cold New York?
[00:29.31] Is it freezing in your bed?
[00:32.25] Because I caught a deep chill
[00:34.12] When I went over the Hudson again.
[00:36.81] .
[00:37.44] It''s alright, counting city lights,
[00:42.88] Where the Turnpike divides,
[00:44.94] Waving goodbye to my former life.
[00:46.69] .
[00:47.17] I don''t want to be a self-medicator
[00:49.55] But it''s hard to sleep when you''re born to run.
[00:52.17] I''m sick of living life in the Garden State Trap
[00:54.42] But all the roads are pointing home again.
[00:58.86] .
[01:07.92] Holy Cross has got a headstone all picked out for me
[01:13.11] And my only job is to walk around
[01:15.48] until I fall down at its feet.
[01:17.98] Maybe home is just the place you can never escape:
[01:23.05] From the Camden City graves
[01:25.74] to the edge of the Palisades
[01:27.74] .
[01:28.67] It''s alright, counting city lights,
[01:33.61] Where the Turnpike divides,
[01:35.68] Waving goodbye to my former life.
[01:37.23] .
[01:37.48] I don''t want to be a self-medicator
[01:40.17] But it''s hard to sleep when you''re born to run.
[01:42.36] I''m sick of living life in the Garden State Trap
[01:45.05] But all the roads are pointing home again.
[01:50.24] .
[02:02.33] And I''ll be counting the city lights
[02:05.28] Blinking on and off tonight as life passes by
[02:11.66] And I''m left behind, standing on the shoulder
[02:15.65] of the Jersey Turnpike.
[02:19.40] Buildings seem to rise like coffins full
[02:23.91] of stars getting buried in the sky.
[02:26.84] You want to laugh and dance,
[02:29.34] to be free? Well, alright
[02:36.03] .
[02:38.65]
[02:54.78] I''ve been thinking
[02:58.66] about those days I wanted to sleep
[03:03.03] And you''d wake me up just before you''d leave
[03:09.72] And I''d fall back into a dream:
[03:17.16] Walking in fresh city snow
[03:20.78] that you''d never seen
[03:23.03] And I''d never leave your side.
