lyrics

Central Standard Time

Interstate 80 cutting through the weighty heart
of this heartless nation
Chain store signs and ancestral crimes
count down to the last gas station
Lines of corn and the native born turn to face the passing breeze
And there’s a race in the the rows until heaven knows
outrunning the fall’s first freeze

It’s a long lonely road back home

Spin that dial searching lurching all across the road
For that one song that’s just never on
How did the chorus go?
Something something should have something could have been, you know?
I only heard it once or twice a real long time ago

It’s a long lonely road back home
These feet have walked one hundred miles
One thousand miles to go
It’s a long lonely road back home

All the speed that we put on
won’t hide the tracks of where we’re coming from
And though the road is plainly marked
it’s no small thing to get back to the start
Central standard time
Across the yellow lines
Exits all lead to nowhere
Nowhere

Head is humming fingers drumming I’m lost in a fantasy
Gonna roar gonna groove gonna make my move
Right down into the shining sea
The light turns dim and a mist rolls in and the dead of night is near
And there’s a man over the line with a fading sign
that reads anywhere but here

It’s a long lonely road back home
These feet have walked one hundred miles
One thousand miles to go
It’s a long lonely road back home

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

supported by 6 fans who also own “Central Standard Time”

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
