THE DRIVE TO FORTY-FIVE

I lost it all, bet on a forest to grow
but it wasn’t fall that I saw or growth that I sensed in conventional sense,
only the roads named for trees survived,
I’ve gone outside side side with all my pride pride pride
and now my horse has gone I need a ride ride ride
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
but when the context broke a bee that needs no hive
back on the fourth of May, and on the four-twenty,
and back on eight eight eight
save the day light the way
well where meet we have and we set foot in the grave
though I’d rather that we tried to stay alive live live
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
as all the days slipped away from the calendar page
I’m on the next train in the ventricle of the arterial
parked on a parkway in the night when all I want to do is drive
and as an owl call comes by the waterfalls of the conservation
undeveloped shoulder to the highway it says “hoot hoot hoot
I’m gonna noise pollute all you losers at the wheel”
and I sigh sigh sigh cos one day i know I’m gonna die
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
and I could honk and cry but it won’t change the time
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
We should take this back outside, you’re howling at the wrong moon.

Well there’s a rush up attraction on the roadlit side
where the ghosts of old along the prophets told
and into every coatman’s snicker my resolve was getting thicker
and so was I, I, I, drive on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
and oh what a lonely boy was I, I lost it all all all,
bet on the forest to grow tall but saw it wasn’t fall i saw
or growth that I sensed in conventional sense,
only the roads named for trees survived,
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty five five five
I’m on the drive on the drive I’m on the drive drive drive
I’m on the drive drive drive to forty-five.
