Lyrics
Steven and I hitch-hiking Our day off to hanover Beat up car with young girl driving Slow down and pull over
In the rear view mirror Like co-conspirators we did smile I did not know that I was running I saw the sunlight streaming
Down on the landscape Of my alcatraz escape From the sadness 'twas born in my soul
Three years passed, still I was suffering Spent that march in charlottesville Saw the ghost of thomas jefferson Sitting on my window sill
With his thin powdered hair And his concubine there he did smile I did not know that I was running I saw the twilight gleaming
Down on the landscape Of my alcatraz escape From the sadness 'twas born in my soul I went down through the labyrinth Of my falsified regret Deep in flight from the light in my soul
Oh what a complicated tapestry I sewed All that energy I wasted on my fear All those years spent stumbling down that lonesome road
It's not very clear How far or how near I have come I did not know that I was running I see the sunlight streaming
Down on the landscape...
