about

Lucy and Bob at the open mic in Lincoln City

lyrics

There is a mountaintop in Sausalito - That I go to when I feel low
I like to know how high I can go – like a saint climbin’ on his halo
I like the air that – you get - up there
And there’s an alien in my window – and I’m not scared but
It’s definitely a close encounter – The Director’s cut
And I’m not scared – cos they are – everywhere

Give me a sabre of light
I don’t have much energy tonight

Not like the nights with no curtains - in our railroad room
We always knew for certain - we would fight off the gloom
We were the sentries – of the night

And I thought I’d never consider this – but here I am
Never thought I could (take this risk) steal this kiss – well maybe I can
I won’t give in – without a fight

Night dreams are easy tonight
The answer to my selfish plight

And Highway 99 runs right up to the sky
But you will cry and you can die – on Highway 99

Armies of angels assemble – right under this moon
And holy empires crumble – and about time too
Some debts the taxman never collects – it’s true
Like I never declared – that I still love you

A Yokohama fog falls and curls - Canadian snow lies over the world Verse
The old ice ages wait their turn – Summer sunshine burns
An armada of anger – is anchored off Stavanger
A Sargasso Sea of sorrow – could smother all tomorrows
The Kerry rain – runs down my lane
It’s time to decide if I will ride – on Highway 99
She sleeps in Seattle and she could be mine – there’s nowhere to hide
Virginia plains - are my domain

I should take any other road – not Highway 99
There’s many other ways I know – not Highway 99
I really love the scenery – on Highway 99
There are dark and deep ravines – on Highway 99
It is the most dangerous road – Highway 99
Where your conscience can explode – Highway 99
A year can pass in just a day – on Highway 99
Your whole life can slip away – on Highway 99
There are so many wrecks – on Highway 99
Am I gonna be the next ? – on Highway 99
Well what do you expect ? – on Highway 99
There is no life after death on Highway 99
