You‘d fallen asleep
Guess it was around 4
And i watched the sun rise
Through the rear-view mirror

We had escaped the night
And the ghosts of our past
A few miles ahead
There was an exit, at last

But on the side of the road
The blackness arose
I saw two men hanging
And a third who now knows:

The innocent bystanders
Who abetted the crime

We had escaped the night
And the ghosts of our past
A few miles ahead
There was an exit, at last
