one of my most favorite Rush songs
May. 3rd, 2008 10:53 pmHe's got a road map of Jupiter
A radar fix on the stars
All along the highway
Shes got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers
Under the Sahara
They travel in the time of the prophets
On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone
Were only at home when were on the run
On the run
Hes got a star map of Hollywood
A list of cheap motels
All along the freeway
Shes got a sister out in Vegas
The promise of a decent job
Far away from her hometown
They travel on the road to redemption
A highway out of yesterday -- that tomorrow will bring
Like lovers and heroes, birds in the last days of spring
Were only at home when were on the wing
On the wing
When we are young
Wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
( For a limited time )
