Lyrics:

Your eyes squint to see the light
At the end of Highway 9
You struggle with sleep’s delight
As the stars above recline

And you know just what to look for
And you know just why you came
You’re a bullet in the night
Finally freed from your grave

And all the memories behind you
And all those left to come
Can’t save you from your exile
In the land of forever sun

And the ghosts still know your name
Though you’re not around to talk
They make their bets just the same
And wonder why you would walk

It’s the pain and dread that free you
At least that’s what you believe
So don’t forget to check your back
When you turn around to start to leave

‘Cause all the lies left behind you
And all those left to come
Can’t lead you from your exile
In the land of forever sun

The people you say you know
On the bright side of street
Tell you they don’t remember you
When you come around to meet

So you drive under the midnight moon
Until your mind feels numb to day
And you don’t stop to check your wounds
It’s price you’ve paid, you say

With all the cares behind you
And none of them left to come
They’re right there in your exile
In the land of forever sun

With the whole world left behind you
And the night left to come
She’ll cool you in your exile
In the land of forever sun
