“Motorcycle Song”
Well, I’m driving down this road, on this big old motorcycle
I’ve been riding here so many years that I’ve forgotten why
Just some Island boys and I cruisin’ down that Sunrise Highway
Though when I get west to Lake Success I turn and say goodbye
To Jericho Road, I’ve already been every place I’m going
Jericho Road, don’t have any need to prove nothing to no one
Go where you want, still might be riding for all that I know
Put in my time, drawing the line on the Jericho Road
Well, it’s a long and nasty life, see myself from falling
Only mightiness, I don’t believe I’ve ever had the chance
Now I know she’s waiting there yeah she waits for me in silence
It’s… I had a chance, as long as I can go
To Jericho Road, never had a…run away
Jericho Road, one of a…on a lake… far as I know…
[Gibberish]
…No Promised Land on the Jericho Road
Yeah, la la la…
In a wave or two I fly, when I feel myself come falling
On the motorway… a holiday, oh so cleverly mine
It’s a shame I had a chance, but I live here in the darkness
Not a lot that I can do, an ordinary guy
Jericho Road, I’ve known all along…
Jericho Road, had a lot of long… summer silence
Should’ve been lost… nobody knows
…on a Jericho Road
La la la…
