Gridlock — текст песни (Warren Zevon)

written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music Inc./BMI

It`s 5:00 P.M. on a weekday, friend
There`s one of me and two million of them
The whistle blows and the factories close
There`s a million more commuters on the access roads
The brake lights flash--there`s an RV crashed
I`m in the passing lane going nowhere fast
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I`m stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl

Gridlock
Up ahead
There`s a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin` nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream

Oh yeah, ain`t it a shame
We`re all jammed up at the interchange
The paramedics and the CHP
Wait impatiently for catastrophes
I`m spending half my days like this
I might as well be working on the midnight shift
The radio`s tuned to the traffic news
And everybody`s choking on monoxide fumes

Gridlock
Up ahead
There`s a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin` nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream

It`s 5:00PM on a weekday, friend
I`m going home but I don`t know when
I hate this traffic and I hate this town
Gotta honk my horn, try to get around
I feel like going on a killing spree
Tomorrow I`m going on the RTD
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I`m stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl

Gridlock
Up ahead
There`s a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin` nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and dream
