Cass McCombs - Van Wyck Expressway Lyrics

Cass McCombs Lyrics

"Van Wyck Expressway"

I want something I can't have
I have something I don't want
I have a need to divide myself
I have all I ever need

Lumber, freshly milled
Trucked off to the build
No disrespect to Queens
But I have my own dreams

I've seen enough for one day
Say only what I have to say
I've seen enough for one day
I'll sleep it off on the expressway

Human life is sleeping life
No experience here
I have no memory of where I'm from
Or who I used to be

Shredded tires, bits of glass
Cakes of spilled gas
Wheels passing by my head
That's where I make my bed

I've seen enough for one day
Say only what I have to say
I've seen enough for one day
I'll sleep it off on the expressway

I've seen enough for one day
Say only what I have to say
I've seen enough for one day
I'll sleep it off on the expressway
