Black Highway at Night

 

Black highway at night and I

am I

I am the driver

 

Black highway at night and the signs flash past

one potato two potato three potato four

mile upon mile, star upon star.

 

I am the driver

 

Black highway at night and I am staying awake

heavy eyelids, dropping chin, counting the signs

tires roll across the night sky, star upon star.

 

One potato two potato three potato four

 

Black highway at night, god knows how far

from this place to that place, all the signs

are too dark to read.

 

Who is the car?

 

Black highway at night, I am driving the car

from this place to that place, where all the signs point

too dark to read, star upon star

 

One estrella two estrella three estrella four

 

Black highway at night, star upon star

mile upon mile, god knows how far

before I’m too weary to keep driving the car.
