in cruise control to the wreck of me i lay my head up against the wheel and dream highway forty five o nine in cruise control to the wreck of me i lay my head up against the wheel and dream highway forty five o nine stretches across this wicked dream of mine abated only by the engine drone the silence takes hold then i m home phantoms and shadows take control of the wheel the smell of gasoline sex and steel somewhere i lost my way and you got brave and now here i lay somewhere in this highways moan the angels dare to guide my way strychnine and broken spine the engine wanes seat belt tightens across my chest broken glass and plastic finally come to rest and all my senses come alive and start to shake me broken bones and the smile that you left magnolia don t pray for me all the warning signs i never cared to see magnolia all direction lost i took the ride and i paid the cost no illustrious collaboration somewhere outta time alone you re the one that made it out you re the shadow and the doubt a lonely ambulance is heard across the highway with sirens screaming out your name magnolia don t pray for me all the warning signs i never cared to see magnolia all direction lost you re the one that s moving razor steel collapse and burn away crosses line and angels prey cruise control to the very wreck of me the warning signs i was too blind to see magnolia all direction lost you re the one that s moving on
