I am the public highway, baby
I'm no place for pretence or protocol
I could take you
By way of a garden city
I could run you along
The libido del sol
I am this street now
I am the street where you live
See me from your window
And be a fugitive
Back of beyond the horizon
I cut and stretch
The outer space of open air
If there's somewhere
You just have to be, babe
Oh let me be your thoroughfare
I am this street now
I am the street where you live
See me from your window
And be a fugitive
There is a pale swamp
A glacier
Waxy crystal car
And the smell of wood smoke
Is on the evening breeze
And your engine's humming
Like a pleasure boat
In the distance of the heat
Tearing the blossom off the trees
We pa** by pere lachaise
And broken fences
We pa** hospitals
In the san fernando valley
And all of my tricks
And turns and inclinations
You can't find them in your rand mcnally
Live now - live a thousand other lives
Live now - and learn the secret names of time
Live now - all at once and forever
Live now - and you'll be all mine
I am this street now
I am the street where you live
See me from your window
And be a fugitive
