Facing New York

Facing New York


Turn the engine off 
(flip it into neutral) 
barrelling down duncan hill 
leading to a tunnel 
(like a laughing tiger) 
swallowing the night and daylight 
which keeps us alive 
keep your car in drive 

[chorus:] 
yeah did you throw it away now? 
i tried to stop you 
but did you go your own way now? 

and at the tunnel's end 
(you will find a clearing) 
beneath the mountains open wide 
where we'll live like sheep 
very well fed 
and well trained 
to walk in single file 
walk for miles and miles 

[chorus] 

i don't remember how we got to where we are 
i don't remember how we got to where we are 
(must have blacked out how'd we get this far?) 
and i don't remember how we got to where we are
