Who Built The Road

by The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Who built the road That left in my self esteem
Twisted and crunched Black metal and bones
Who passed the buck Who pressed my flesh to yours
Spilling like wine And sweeter than tears
(Oh, I'll do more than survive
With trembling visions that Terrify)
So who built the road Who turned it all around
Picked through the wreck Scrambled in the dust
So who built the road Who was the foolish one
Stepped out of time Two hearts in the fire
Who lit the touch Who fanned the flames
With sparks in the dust Spent rivers of desire
(Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes
We stumble along with so many more to make)
So who built the road Who could foresee
that The answers we sought Were many miles to go
Lah lah... We were so lonely at times
Fading away Sitting side by side
Now we built the road We were the chain gang
We crossed that at war The devil at my side
Dark angel within The ever lasting fire
Lah lah...
