silver wheels (live) - bruce cockburn lyrics
[intro]
good evening.
[verse 1]
high speed drift on a prairie road
hot tires sing like a string being bowed
sudden town rears up then explodes
fragments resolve into white line code
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 2]
black earth energy receptor fields
undulate under a grey cloud shield
we outrun a river colour brick red mud
that cleaves apart hills soil rich as blood
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 3]
highway squeeze in construction steam
stop caution hard hat yellow insect machines
silver steel towers stalk rolling land
toward distant stacks that shout “feed on demand”
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 4]
a hundred miles later the sky has changed
urban antic*p*tion—we get four lanes
red*orange furnace sphere notches down
throws up silhouette skyline in brown
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 5]
sundogs flare on windshield glass
sudden swoop skyward iron horse overpass
pass a man walking like the man in the moon
walking like his head’s full of irish fiddle tunes
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 6]
the skin around every city looks the same
miles of flat neon spelling well*known names
used trucks — dirty donuts — you you’re the one
fat wheeled cars squeal into the sun
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
[verse 7]
radio speakers gargle top forty trash
muzak soundtrack to slow collapse
planet engines pulsate in sidereal time
if you listen close you can hear the whine
[refrain]
whirl on silver wheels
whirl on silver wheels
[outro]
thank you.
