Jesus died on, Jesus cried on
Christmas day, last July
Feeling ragged torn and frayed
Making a list of what I've found
All the things both good and bad
All the near misses I've never had
Down the highway of souls
Nobody knows
Where to turn, where to turn
You can't hold it up to the light
Down the highway of souls tonight
Feeling cold, feeling cold as ice
Down the highway of souls tonight
And down the path that we walk
The silence's strong, it's hard to talk
The faces frown and we all drop
And hurry for a window seat
The prosecution courthouse lies
And gives a thousand alibis
I had to split there with my life
Barely alive
I saw you hanging out your pain
It looked so good out in the rain
Only to get caught by the wind
You'll have to get back
And tell the boys with their face a glow
That it just wasn't so
It was so long ago
And it was just an act
You can't hold it up to the light
Down the highway of souls tonight
Feeling cold, feeling cold as ice
Down the highway of souls tonight
And down the path that we walk
The silence's strong, it's hard to talk
The faces frown and we all drop
And hurry for a window seat
The prosecution courthouse lies
And gives a thousand alibis
I had to split there with my life
Barely alive
I saw you hanging out your pain
It looked so good out in the rain
Only to get caught by the wind
You'll have to get back
And tell the boys with their face a glow
That it just wasn't so
It was so long ago
And it was just an act
You can't hold it up to the light
Down the highway of souls tonight
Feeling cold, feeling cold as ice
Down the highway of souls tonight
