Magnolia - Strung Out

In cruise control to the wreck of me

I lay my head up against the wheel and dream

Highway forty five O nine

In cruise control to the wreck of me

I lay my head up against the wheel and dream

Highway forty five O nine

Stretches across this wicked dream of mine

Abated only by the engine drone

The silence takes hold then I’m home

Phantoms and shadows take control of the wheel

The smell of gasoline sex and steel

Somewhere I lost my way and you got brave

And now here I lay

Somewhere in this highways moan

The Angels dare to guide my way

Strychnine and broken spine

The engine wanes

Seat belt tightens across my chest

Broken glass and plastic finally come to rest

And all my senses come alive and start to shake me

Broken bones and the smile that you left

Magnolia don’t pray for me

All the warning signs I never cared to see

Magnolia all direction lost

I took the ride and I paid the cost

No illustrious collaboration somewhere outta time alone

You’re the one that made it out

You’re the shadow and the doubt

A lonely ambulance is heard across the highway

With sirens screaming out your name

Magnolia don’t pray for me

All the warning signs I never cared to see

Magnolia all direction lost

You’re the one that’s moving

Razor steel collapse and burn away

Crosses line and Angels prey

Cruise control to the very wreck of me

The warning signs I was too blind to see

Magnolia all direction lost

You’re the one that’s moving on
