[Verse 1]
2000 was fired out from a cannon
The neighbor shot up at the lips
We pout in the street and stood for our income
On top of the cars with bottles in hand
This year crept up, who could see it coming
No-one saw the signs, if any were there
The distant funeral marches drumming
"I'll take life, don't care if its fair"
[Verse 2]
With too many tales with terrible endings
Gods and machines that get in the way
We thought we were home, turns out we were renting
Until I am gone I'm here to stay
Taken away our friends, our lovers
By cancer, h**n, tragedy
Its not the wakes I'm worried over
Its knowing we have to go to sleep
[Chorus]
If it's a highway
I am trying just to drive
I am trying just to drive
Stay awake and stay alive
If it's a highway
I want you there at the side
I want you there at the side
Still awake and still alive
[Verse 3]
The songs we thought we'd have to bury
We faced tham head on right away
Every reason to cry not one to worry
Drive faster and further is my ony change
So tattoo our arms and raise our gla**es
Call out your names it's new year's eve
And maybe next time we lay down a casket
We say at leat the stroy's complete
[Chorus] [x2]
