Who Built the Road

Who built the road

That lived in my self esteem

Twisted and crunched

Black metal and bones

Who passed the buck

Who pressed my flesh to yours

Spilling like wine

And sweeter than tears

(Oh, I hope we more than survive

With trembling visions that terrify)

So who built the road

Who turned it all around

Picked through the wreck

Scrambled in the dust

Who built the road

Who was the foolish one

Step out of time

Two hearts in the fire

Who lit the touch

Who fanned the flames

With sparks in the dust

Spent rivers of desire

(Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes

We stumble along with so many more to make)

So who built the road

Who could foresee

That the answers we sought

Were many miles to go

Lah lah...

We were so lonely at times

Fading away

Sitting side by side

Now we built the road

We were the chain gang

We crossed that at war

The devil at my side

Dark angel within

The ever lasting fire

Lah lah...
