The cost The price at which it's bought I can't believe it's gotten To the point to which it's got I'm lost I am simply distraught I've completely forgotten If I'm still living or not I burned every single bridge I ever crossed And now I'm stuck on an island Crying With no way off Paint me a road sign Point it the direction I should go I'll wait by the white lines They paint along the edges of the road Paint me a road sign Make it big and make it bright and make it glow I hate how I stress I really wish I didn't even want to know "I insist" Said the compass "The sun sets in the South Don't resist, that's a promise" I left it at the bottom of the river mouth "We're right on track!" Said the map In a very reassuring tone But we've circled back I'm feeling trapped I may never find my way home So pave me a highway Make it run exactly where I'm supposed to be I ache for some place to stay Where I'm welcome, where I'm wanted, where I'm free Pave me a highway Make it wide and make it smooth and make it true There's mountains in my way I fear I lack the dynamite to tunnel through I sunk every single ship I've ever known And now I'm stuck on an island Crying With no way home
