Burning engine oil Lightning’s a-roll She’s lighting earth a-flame Fire beats rain And my eye is on the road Put my body ‘neath the mud Til I’m dry and on the shore Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more Driving on ahead Traffic like the dead Who’s lost the will to fight Pass it on the right And my eye is on the flood Put my body ‘neath the mud Til we toil towards something pure Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more On my eyes a weighted cloak On my body a heavy load Til I’m light and unafraid Or I give and give without trade Til I’m dry and on the shore Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more
