The Ex-Optimists - Whoop Stop Lyrics

That dream that some call death has barely escaped me
There's a vacant Texaco up ahead
Pull it over until the storm blows north
Shoot out the lights and watch the phantom freights unwind
On down the line
The spirit awaits me on down the line
Prairie darkness is all that you'll find

That dream that some call life has somehow escaped me
The caution lights will pause from breath to breath
Miles and miles of silence, there's not another soul for hours
Just bombed out cars and empty shells of trailer parks
On down the line
