Swan Lake Road

In a frantic fit of ecstasy you say
This town is too asleep for me!
But you haven't got any notion of where to go
She lives about a dozen miles from here
Where the winds enslave you and the nights are clear
And there's a little less smog covering the snow

Oh

You dim your lights, but passing cars do not
On the radio is a song you forgot you knew
You used to sing it when you were just a kid:
nah nah nah nah na-nah nah
But those days are gone for everyone
Laughing hard is for the untamed ones
Who are hide and seekers still missing since they ran and hid

Come on, Betty, be nice, don't you run out of gas
Gotta make just one more pass
I'm gonna wanna do this forever
As we dance on this Swan Lake road
Try to think of how her voice sounds,
How she'd hold my hand
But it's so long ago now that it feels like never

A pleasant winter night all by yourself
Unless you count Betty, whose fuel gauge fell
From full to empty as you made her pace on all those gravel roads
It's four in the morning, damned if you can sleep
You're wired on all of these memories
And you haven't got any notion of where to go

Come on, Betty, be nice, don't you run out of gas
Gotta make just one more pass
I'm gonna wanna do this forever
As we pirouette on this Swan Lake road
Try to think of how her voice sounds,
How she'd hold my hand
But it's so long ago now that it feels like never

What have you got against having fun?
Are you dying of post-twenty-one?
Perhaps you could keep from growing old
If you could find a soul-mate's hand to hold and
Laughing is easy for those untamed ones, but
You don't remember where you come from
And you haven't got any notion of where to go
No you haven't got any notion of where to go
Ohhhhhhhh, etc
