Blue Receipt Road

(one, two, three, go!)

Working past the hour on a glow-lit screen

Suddenly she laughs, ripping through the routine

Loud across the office,

then a sudden blank

Left a blue receipt from the corner store we drank

Now she's at the barrier,

staring at the gate Toll booth is empty,

getting way too late

No spare change in the console tray (No change!) No way out,

what you gonna pay?

(No way!)

Stuck in the headlights with a blue receipt!

(Blue receipt!) Trying to find a way to make ends meet!

(Make them meet!) Running on empty in the midnight lane!

(In the lane!) Lost at the toll booth,

driving insane!

Dashboard light reveals the faded ink

Corner store details making me think

Quiet at the toll,

she doesn't make a sound While the engines idle on the concrete

ground

Lost at the toll booth...

(No change!) Just a blue receipt...

(No

way!)
