And everybody knows
The highway climbs so high
Past the skeleton crows
Pecking out the cities eyes

And if you drive
And never look down
You'll pass the spines
Connecting the clouds
And if you drive
Through the rainbow fence
You'll pass the crystallized
Thundercloud gardens

Me and the skeleton rose
Lay on our backs one night
Watching those luminous roads
Tying knots in the night
And we were singing...

Highways of gold
Where do they go?
The suns dripping roads
Like flailing tentacles

And everybody knows
That Bobby's gonna die
The way that skeleton rose
Is always gettin' him high

Oh, when he cries
Roads eject from his eyes
And we drive
Over his last rights
Yeah, we fly
Past a map of his heart
Flashing like
A neon junkyard

And everybody knows
The highway climbs so high
Past the skeleton crows
On those towers of time
And we were singing...

Highways of gold
Where do they go?
The suns dripping roads
Like flailing tentacles

Highways of gold
Where do they go?
The suns dripping roads
Like flailing tentacles

Highways of gold
Where do they go?
The suns dripping roads
Like flailing tentacles

Highways of gold
Where do they go?
