southbound through the burbs to hit the roads in southern jers
the drinks kick in,
closing after tonight out of my mind

guard rails, mile markers, not a damn thing in sight
until those lights appear
let's start the night


with the painting of the sky so dark
i'm coming down to you


it's like in an exposition shot from a movie
the music, the scenery,

it's all edited and done
now everything falls right in place
i said everything falls right into place

the stars take a front seat over the sun

and with the painting

of the sky so dark
a blackout curtain that's draped over my mind


now that you're with me, you set me free
