After driving many hours Reflective dots on the road looked like candies Stuck in rows to wax paper And i ate a few to find They'd been dipped in somebody's acid And i couldn't uncross the things my mind said it saw with my eyes And i couldn't say a word though i feared for our lives What a cruel trick to play, what a cruel thing to do to a stranger Once the sun came up And i saw what was what The heavy horizon lay before me it flattened out my eyes No pitch black cut by spotlight to show me blurry lines In sunlight i marvelled I could have taken both our lives What a cruel trick to play, what a cruel thing to do to a stranger What a cruel trick to play, what a cruel thing to do to a traveller
