    < off the interstate >

time is a trick here and we are being played    
sometimes beautifully    
sometimes not    
but most of the time it makes no damn sense    
yesterday i see you    
facing away    
but it's you    
knowing your walk the way i do    
but today    
you're gone    
and after that, who knows    
the song comes and goes    
most of the time i can't hear it    
noise or silence    
across the next room or off interstate 10      
just west of new orleans    
the tires of the trucks are singing    
it's playing them too    
but us?    
we'd never know    
even if we could hear it    
and we can't hear it    
this night    
off the interstate    
just west of new orleans
