Restless Highway Songtext
von The Men They Couldn’t Hang
Restless Highway Songtext
We drove from San Sebastian to Frankfurt on the Main
Watched winter turn to springtime and the snow turn into rain
In the darkness of the motorway we lost our silhouettes
But we knew that we were still alive by the tips of our cigarettes
Monday was a carnival, flags yellow, red and blue
The bands were playing salsa as they burned the big statues
Fireworks in the orange grove, red dust upon my throat
Pretty girls in pony tails selling smack and crack and coke
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
The northern towns of England look like Flanders in the mud
Boxing rings, bookies, Chinese takeaways and blood
The neon lights are glowing like a furnace in the sky
I'm traveling on the highway thinking of lust and suicide
Tuesday was a party with the barman′s lonely daughter
Love is meant for strangers. It's a bargain not a slaughter
It's playing cards with con men in the corner of a shebeen
Or a little touch of dying in the arms of Josephine
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
We passed a shanty village on a Spanish mountainside
There was washing in the windows and horses running wild
We bought beer and Coca-Cola, sex in magazines
Told ourselves that village was a desolate place to be
Wednesday was a border. Thursday was a stage
Friday was a close shave with a golden razor blade
On Saturday we found ourselves with the Earth′s crust burning bright
Sunday was the seventh red city of the night
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody's looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
Watched winter turn to springtime and the snow turn into rain
In the darkness of the motorway we lost our silhouettes
But we knew that we were still alive by the tips of our cigarettes
Monday was a carnival, flags yellow, red and blue
The bands were playing salsa as they burned the big statues
Fireworks in the orange grove, red dust upon my throat
Pretty girls in pony tails selling smack and crack and coke
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
The northern towns of England look like Flanders in the mud
Boxing rings, bookies, Chinese takeaways and blood
The neon lights are glowing like a furnace in the sky
I'm traveling on the highway thinking of lust and suicide
Tuesday was a party with the barman′s lonely daughter
Love is meant for strangers. It's a bargain not a slaughter
It's playing cards with con men in the corner of a shebeen
Or a little touch of dying in the arms of Josephine
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
We passed a shanty village on a Spanish mountainside
There was washing in the windows and horses running wild
We bought beer and Coca-Cola, sex in magazines
Told ourselves that village was a desolate place to be

On Saturday we found ourselves with the Earth′s crust burning bright
Sunday was the seventh red city of the night
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody's looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
Wheels are turning on a restless highway
Everybody′s looking for a rendezvous
Chasing the horizon on a restless highway
Further and further from you
Further and further from you
