lyrics

Black crows on the highway in the summer of 99.
A dream on my horizon, no shadows yet to find.
Me and you are on the road, we're heading for another joint.
We'll take the road to anywhere to find the perfect point.

Castles in the sky, they've always seemed so far away.
If this is my nirvana, well I never want to stray from here again.

The freeway's going my way, said a monkey on the wall.
It bothered me a little, for I'd seen that face before.
The hobos on the sidewalk, they're dancing like fruit bats.
Minds like melted molten, they're a bunch of crazy cats.

Diamonds in the sky, they've always seemed so out of reach.
If this is my nirvana, well I never want to leave this place again.

Driving to the borderline to where the sun goes down.
Heading to the ocean, looking for Tequila Town.
Freewheeling to salvation and kiss the past goodbye.
I'm off to see a masterpiece hanging in the sky.

Dreams in my mind, they've always seemed so out of reach.
If this is my oasis, well I never want to leave this place again.

A white witch on the subway stopped and read my palm.
Told me I was blessed, then gave me a lucky charm.
My journey must continue, cause I've no time to stay.
I'll pack my bags and leave tonight, and I'll be on my way.

Castles in the sky, they've always seemed so far away.
If this is my nirvana, well I never want to stay from here again.
From here again.
From here again.
From here again.
