Heading Out To The Highway
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of
Charlotte sometimes
Into the night with
Charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed
So close
So many
Other names...
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Where all the
Low Estate
to hell with boys creepin' up slowly
swingin' them shovels 'round
diggin' up words of pleasure
from evil hollow ground
o - an' here's one now girl
the devil is in his eye
you'd better start stirring up soil boy
or hear e'r you'll lye
whispered to you in the dark
and i think you heard me say
let's say goodbye like we said hello
in a friendly kind of way
ye charlie's neat an' charlie's keen but
david he's a dandy
david he's a nice young man
he feeds the girls on candy
whispered to you in the dark
and all that sordid gain
let's say goodbye like we said hello
in a friendly kinda way
now what i done's my damage
an' what you do is your'n
y'all got nothin' on me
but i'll take that there
crown of scorn
