Run off the Road - Ola Podrida

When you finally scaled the wall

Thinking you had heard the siren singing

What you really heard was a broken bird

Making out like it’s a dove

When you stole the soldier’s car

Everybody knew what you were thinking

Ivory towers and lover’s flowers

But no one thought you were a fool

You never stopped to notice all

The stolen clothes stacked in the hall

From the others who scaled the wall just to

Find themselves fun off the road

When you showed up at the farm

Visions of the summer flying past you

The foxes had torn up

The mother and her pups

And the well was full of flies

When you walked down to the pond

Searching for the lover guiding you

It had been filled in with rusty nails and then

You finally knew that you were lost
