One for the Road

Ladders and sheep, what a stunning plan
I can always sleep, sleep
When we've done all we can
Why should I wait? I close my eyes
It seems I'm afraid, still afraid
Of my own disguise
I can't go on believing my own lies

One for the road
And a thousand more, a thousand more
One for the road
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls me in

So here we are, my dearest friend
In the usual bar, and we ate our favorite bread
And here I am so tired of all my toys
And after all, I'm not a salad-eating boy

One for the road
And a thousand more, a thousand more
One for the road
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls

Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
Silence falls when reality calls

One for the road
Silence falls when reality calls
One for the road
When reality calls
For the road, for the road, for the road
Smiling faces, a few short embraces
One for the road
Silence falls when reality calls
Silence falls when reality calls me in
