lyrics

Exit 32
© 2011 Steven A. Humes All Rights Reserved

Just off the interstate
Exit thirty two
Lost souls congregate
As they do what they do
Gas station hobos
Wash windows and more
Lot lizard women
Do the necessary chores

Beggars are dancing
High on their loot
Impatient drivers
Giving horns a toot
Avoiding their eyes
As they try to collect
Outstretched empty hands
Full lives of neglect

Wiping car windows
With stolen rags
Pushing borrowed carts
The store don’t want back
Brown paper bags
Holding liquid answers
Another day in the life
Of the traffic dancers

Disintegration is
Starting on the fringes
Exit door to nowhere
Swings on rusting hinges
Between drying out
And suicidal binges
Gentle world looking on
And it cringes

Sad eyes so eager
To flag you down
Can’t turn away from them
Cause they’re all around
Dirty clothes and faces
Desperation on display
Realize again that
Love won't come today

Just off the interstate
Exit thirty two
So close and far from home
So real and so true........
Surreal and so true........
So real and so true........
Surreal and so true........
