I walked green miles of jungle / I walked through yellow miles of pain I crossed starvation's desert / Watched dead rivers swell with rain The song of insects filled the air / Nights in cites of despair Where killer's sons said, son beware / And all the roads from here to there I sailed the sea of desolation / Dropped my anchor there Plumbed the depths of isolation / Walked its length and was not scared Went from end to end to end / And then from there I went again The road that only this one knows / Off to nowhere here I go Illumination comes so hard / Makes me see but leaves its scars At times I wish that I didn't know what I know now Thought and thought until I lost my mind Looked and looked until I went near blind The path is fair but so unkind At night the highway's diesel roar / Speaks to me and tells me more Than any book I've ever read / Or anything you ever said With silent eyes inside / I watch myself and worlds collide The seasons burn and crack my skin / I stay outside and live within
