This song was born out of a few late night epiphanies while riding the city bus in Denver to go to shows. My friend Daub and I take the bus so that we don't drink and drive. Smart move, but we realized that while we are having fun others are simply trying to survive. We live parallel lives next to these folks, but choose to look the other way. Honestly only a few life decisions separate us from them......Plus a trainwreck of a tranny fell on my lap one time. That was eventfull.
lyrics
The wind bites hard, before the whiskey takes hold.
It’s crazy sometimes, to watch all the lights fly by.
16th Street is Miles away, with so many different worlds between.
Bus routes and train wrecks, sidewalks and speedbumps
Guide us along in Parallel ways.
To imperfect ends, and Memorable days.
Till the world Starts over again, till the world starts over again.
So many different ones, Numb to the Blatant cold
All with something to hide. Push it all aside, inside your mind.
Live without regret for one more late night.
Bus routes and train wrecks, sidewalks and speedbumps
Guide us along in Parallel ways.
To imperfect ends, Memorable days.
Till the world Starts over again, till the world starts over again.
Half of us too drunk to drive
Some of them just tryin to survive
What better things will come in life?
What better things will come along?
Bus routes and train wrecks, sidewalks and speedbumps
Guide us along in Parallel ways.
To imperfect ends, Memorable days.
Till the world Starts over again, till the world starts over again.
