	Lyrics Open handed clutching at the flicking candle flame Burn the palm it’s touching just the feel the pain. This town’s breathing acid, breathing ethanol and steel. This town’s sleeping soundly and your clutching at the wheel. On a night road drive Just to know that you’re alive Under smokestacked skies. In a headlight ride Just to get you through the night Ambivalence and you’re beside yourself, Just drive. Just ride out the night. Rear-view lights and eyes and lines of games you can’t replay. Open handed clutching just to push the past away. This town hands you timid nights and thoughts you can’t repeal. This town hands you stagnant flights till you’re clutching at the wheel. On a streetlight drive Just to know that you’re alive tonight. On an aimless ride Ambivalence and you’re beside yourself… I punch the time clock, run my fingers through my hair I’d give all of my life savings for any one way fare, Just a token gesture that I’m going somewhere And I won’t be stuck here tonight. But it’s bumper to bumper on the gridlocked streets It gives me too much time and the resolve retreats. So I’m just one day older, and another’s in line After another sleepless night. And a drive.
