Lyric

Midnight... Getaway... Cruise

Wednesday noon, the sun is high and slow

Leaving all the tasks that I should know

Stealing from my desk, a shadow on the wall

Faster than a whisper, I’m gone before they call

The city in the mirror starts to fade

Escaping from the cage that I have made

Merging on the highway, cutting through the light

Beyond the spinning vortex, into the night

Streetlights flickering along the country road

Shaking off the weight of a heavy load

Tires on the asphalt, humming out a beat

Turning all the silence into something sweet

The scent of the earth and the cool evening air

Chasing every shadow, I’m almost there

Pressing on the pedal, feeling the rush

Breaking through the static, breaking the hush

Midweek Midnight Cruise, from West to East

Taming the hunger of the city beast

Linking the salt breeze to the harbor glow

Chasing the neon where the dreamers go

Gliding on the freeway, overtaking the stars

In the gradient of night, we’re forgetting who we are

Just for tonight, on this highway high

Underneath the velvet of the midnight sky

When the runway lights begin to shine

I slow down the pace and I cross the line

Watching silver wings taking flight so free

Overlapping shadows with the soul in me

Knowing there’s a place where I must return

Makes this secret getaway brightly burn

Midweek Midnight Cruise, from West to East

Taming the hunger of the city beast

Linking the salt breeze to the harbor glow

Chasing the neon where the dreamers go

Gliding on the freeway, overtaking the stars

In the gradient of night, we’re forgetting who we are

Just for tonight, on this highway high

Underneath the velvet of the midnight sky

So free... Still flying free
