Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics

Do you ever stop to count all the invitations
At the end of the day when it comes down to one decision
Deadbeat girls and freaks at a people's convention
All these sugars with a no vitamin sensation

Do you ever stop to look over old relations
Look to the belly of another one's emotions
Someone young in the winds of a revolution
Tryin' to save his face in the evolution

Asleep at the wheel
No windshield
But you know that the streets here don't change

He's kept alive in the chain of a mental starvation
Bone rail skinny only feeding off frustration
Unlike you who seem bred from corruption
Feeding off the plates of an un-united nation
Asleep at the wheel
No windshield
But you know that the streets here don't change

With the lover in the streets who's waiting to make a connection
To be the mother to the soul of your next abortion
She'll steal your money with the eyes of a baby's complexion
Then she'll laugh at you and your sexual invention

Smelling like a rose in the flowers of devotion
Devoted to the heat of a spotlight in motion
With a face full of mud even though you were only jokin'
As if you really understood the value of isolation

Asleep at the wheel
No windshield
But you know that the streets here don't change

Your tongue so fast like a freight train comin' a rollin'
Every smile you give's just to keep your mouth from closin'
Every engine burns as a sign of the explosion
Locked in neutral your engines are broken

Like candle wax that sun melts into the ocean
Like the moon that lights the tracks of the old train station
You can color in the lines of a mother earth's addictions
And not hold a gun in the face of the earth's abduction

Asleep at the wheel
No windshield
But you know that the streets here don't change
