The High Road - Swollen Members

It’s a wonderful thought, that I could take one road

And end up in L.A. when it’s time to take a load off my shoulders

Cause it gets much colder, it rains in the winter

Where I live so I entered the I-5

Just like this movie «Big Trip» where five drive

Across the country as they journey through new realms

The helm of an adventure as they capture it on film

A new millennium the mission is essentially

Questioning characters at the turn of the century

No rush cause they’ll get there eventually

Kind of like my career and mind state mentally

One route to follow, let’s keep rollin'

Desperate junkies and Silverman in New Orleans

Black Elvis, some scenes make you smile

An alligator wrestler that chills for a while

Hold up, is that a manger at the side of the road

Hallucinogenics and ecstasy caps to lighten the load

The high road, not cause of the drugs you take

Cause of the memories you keep, and the friends you make

Bright lights, and neon streets that are beyond

My road’s the high road, the one you should be on

The maiden voyage, descriptions of millennial contact

Saved on footage, ships of the street in the summer heat

When rubber meets the hot road, southern rainfall

Weather and slang that change code, highway patrol

Alcohol and Redbull

Mediums mixed with drugs natural and chemical

Immediate freak show plateau where you land individual

Standing in the audience my mouth moves the visual

The difference that will separate mind from brain

Comes only with experience living on the wide open plane

So focus on the questions and the answers and the game

Incredible, the fast lane will have life flash

Unforgettable, as long as I’ve got my friends it’s worth the pain

I’ve traveled the Earth I’ve fallen and risen in flames

Driven to view the domain

From the perspective of the young and protected

Camera view overviews my objective overhead projective

Absorbs the milliseconds, kilometers for reference

Speedometers will mark the entrance

We talk to residents who start sentence without reserve

I realize the things I don’t need all the things I don’t deserve

So I try to live simply in a complicated world

Broken down engines, cowboys and Indians

Black Jack gunfights saloons and women

Eagles vultures hawks and crows

(Prevail)

Emergency exit at the hospital

Rattlesnakes scorpions and rodents

Ghost towns truck stops and stars explodin'

In the wide and open rules apply to no man

Die from a slow hand

Live from the low land
