Gorilla Rodeo! - Lonesome Road lyrics

[Verse 1] Where the firestorms are howling through the land And the riverboats are drowning in the sand Where the hinges of the window shutters groan Was my father's home Where the schoolbell's ringin' way down Lincoln Square And the sound of broken playgrounds fill the air I see skeletons of greyhounds lay and rust And their trails in the dust And I still can hear the children in the park Where they danced in the dark [Chorus] And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away [Verse 2] Where the neon temples glitter in the night But there's no one to a**emble in their light The shepherd broke his crooked staff and roared Out to the name of the lord On the porch I watched the pigeons fight the crumbs And the raindrops played the tin roof battle drums I should find myself some shelter I suppose With the dogs and the crows Where we all can live together safe and sound In our hole in the ground [Chorus] And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away [Verse 3] Where the mountains crumble down and oceans rise And the country's getting old before my eyes Waltzing with the planets in the sky Turn the wheels of time And I gaze up to the stars until I sleep See their blaze deep in my heart and in my dreams When everything is dark the future's bright And it feels alright I will rise up and I'll fly into space Come the end of days [Chorus x2] And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away
