Lyrics:
Your eyes squint to see the lightAt the end of Highway 9You struggle with sleep’s delightAs the stars above reclineAnd you know just what to look forAnd you know just why you cameYou’re a bullet in the nightFinally freed from your graveAnd all the memories behind youAnd all those left to comeCan’t save you from your exileIn the land of forever sunAnd the ghosts still know your nameThough you’re not around to talkThey make their bets just the sameAnd wonder why you would walkIt’s the pain and dread that free youAt least that’s what you believeSo don’t forget to check your backWhen you turn around to start to leave‘Cause all the lies left behind youAnd all those left to comeCan’t lead you from your exileIn the land of forever sunThe people you say you knowOn the bright side of streetTell you they don’t remember youWhen you come around to meetSo you drive under the midnight moonUntil your mind feels numb to dayAnd you don’t stop to check your woundsIt’s price you’ve paid, you sayWith all the cares behind youAnd none of them left to comeThey’re right there in your exileIn the land of forever sunWith the whole world left behind youAnd the night left to comeShe’ll cool you in your exileIn the land of forever sun
