Testo di Interstate 80

Just last night, I finished a bite At the corner of Illinois and Grand When a shadow passed over Broadway and Dover Seven bodies smashed into the dam The next day they say the levee gave way Birds fell from the sky like stars There was ice in the elms, no one at the helm The dam finally broke but no one thought to film The exodus of the Greyhound bus As it roared from heaven's gate Flash bulb pop as the front-line drop I'ma turn up to Interstate 80 (80) 80 Now a river kept rising and I was surmising If I stood up, I might stand a chance To avoid a repeat of those that died in their sleep 'Cause they didn't have the courage to dance Well the locks were shaking, and no one's waiting To see who's in line for the throne Something on my mind burns like turpentine It scours the soul and steals the spine So kick up some gravel and watch us unravel Wait, what the fuck's that in the shade? Now I try to stay calm, I'm sure it don't mean no harm But I hit the gas on Interstate 80 (80) 80 Baby, you wanna live forever Calculate some beats and some rhymes While you and yours was acting clever I was barreling 'cross the state line Now who's gonna last, and who's gonna pass? I got news, we all pass in time The file's deleted, my mission's completed And everyone's repaid in kind I got one more idea the next time I see ya Here's a trick I learned down in Haiti Slip on your Sunday shrouds, turn the radio up loud And disappear down Interstate 80 (80) 80
