Days of Swine and Locusts (Highway Philosophy)
I wrote a song yesterday that I can't sing today, Days of wine and roses never matter much anyway,
I dropped that four leaf clover down in the dust,
I know there's no way I can but try I must,
But it's to close to the beginning to be the end, You've been my enemy for too many years for me to ever call you friend.
This is the highway philosophy,
This is past tense prophecy,
I see so many things I want,
And leave behind what I really need,
I try so hard for charity,
But all I ever get is greed.
I said my prayers last night but I don't remember what they were this morning,
My desire came in on short notice and left without a warning,
But days of swine and locusts always leave their mark,
Left on the lawn trying to decide was that the nightingale or the lark,
Expectations lead to disappointments but time wounds all heels,
Achilles in his wheelchair upon his ever turning wheels.
This is the highway philosophy,
This is past tense prophecy,

I see so many ways in,
But I can't find my way out,
I try so hard for faith,
But all I ever get is doubt.
I told a lie yesterday that I believe today,
The truth is never known it doesn't matter anyway,
The truth is just another lie that someone says they believe,
The trick is just to get up and go when you know it's time to leave,
Because yesterday is just tomorrow's answer for today,
And tomorrow knows it don't matter what you believe anyway.
This is the highway philosophy,
This is past tense prophecy,
I touch so many threads of bliss,
But all I ever feel is sorrow,
I try so hard for today,
But all I ever get is tomorrow.
