18th Avenue

Down the road to the 18th Avenue
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
Memories were blank to my eyes
But my head felt better as I turned the car
Down the road to the 18th Avenue
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise, too hungry to

And they all came down to take a view
Oh, my hands were tied as I struggled inside
And they all came down to take a view
The path was dark and borderless
Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
That I used to use only yesterday
"One mile" said the sign

I tried to remember what I thought
The path was dark and borderless
Meanings just dropped to the ground
And what I used to say
I checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22

And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
The empty waste of another day
And the airport slowly came in view

And the people I saw were the people I know
Don't let me go down, no don't let me go
The fire and the glory of that night
And the people I saw were the people I know
