Jewel of the Midwest |
| Dream softly tonight |
| Breathe easy the cold air of this life |
| I’m not sure how I arrived |
| At the choices I made but I made them |
| I walk along the grass; |
| it’s cold and dead |
| All the cars roar past, they own this world |
| The headlights move fast, they’re in such a hurry |
| They light up their paths in a blinding fury |
| And I don’t need hope when I just keep on hurling |
| I don’t need no love I got plenty of hurting |
| She don’t hear my cries echo up through dark skies |
| We all stand in line for the final surprise |
| I’ve been digging the same old graves |
| From the strike against midnight 'til the first break of day |
| Sleep in peace for one night |
| Carry the fire always on the inside |
| Back home nothing has changed |
| Maybe the weather, |
| Not the beat of the days |
| And when I’m there at last I’ll lay in bed |
| Half way across the map, a whole new world |
| My thoughts will race fast they’re in such a hurry |
| They light up their paths in a blinding fury |
| I’ve been buried before in the city that I love |
| Beneath the sidewalks that I walked |
| And the trains that I rode |
| All the buildings I lived in and the streets that I drove |
| Like a ship I was wrecked in our lake’s freezing depth |
| In the place I was born — the jewel of the Midwest |
| Like a ship I was wrecked in the jewel of the Midwest |
