Astral Highway

Dust on the dashboard map

Coffee stains and zodiac signs

You’re tracing orbits on the glass

Saying

“Every wrong turn still aligns”

Mile markers melt and bend

Green numbers float in the air

You laugh

“This road was here before us

And it doesn’t even care”

Ride the astral highway

Feet on the floor

Head in the blue

Past every faded exit

I keep drifting back to you

Ride the astral highway

Out where the old stars burn through

If every road is endless

I still want the one with you

Radio hums strange news

About a storm on the Sun

You twist the dial like a safe

Ask

“What if we’re already done?”

But your face glows red and gold

From a cigarette spark in the dark

You say

“If time is just a circle

Let’s jump and miss our mark”

Ride the astral highway

Feet on the floor

Head in the blue

Past every faded exit

I keep drifting back to you

Ride the astral highway

Out where the old stars burn through

If every road is endless

I still want the one with you

[Guitar swells

Drums tumble

Hammond drones]

Ghost towns flicker

Then repeat

Same gas pump

Different sky

Your hand hangs out the window

Catching years as they roll by (oh yeah)

If we break through this horizon

And the whole world folds in two

Will I find some other version

Still getting lost with you?

Ride the astral highway

Feet on the floor

Head in the blue

Past every faded exit

I keep drifting back to you

Ride the astral highway

Out where the old stars burn through

If every road is endless

I still want the one with you (with you)
