Burning engine oil
Lightning’s a-roll
She’s lighting earth a-flame
Fire beats rain

And my eye is on the road
Put my body ‘neath the mud
Til I’m dry and on the shore
Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more

Driving on ahead
Traffic like the dead
Who’s lost the will to fight
Pass it on the right

And my eye is on the flood
Put my body ‘neath the mud
Til we toil towards something pure
Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more

On my eyes a weighted cloak
On my body a heavy load
Til I’m light and unafraid
Or I give and give without trade
Til I’m dry and on the shore
Oh my heartbeat won’t be back for more
