Lyrics and Music by Sean Kelly

We set out on a windy highway
looking out for what the good life brings
no food just a list of questions
a little stage for the band to sing

The lights inside are flashing
there's jokes and people laughing
they love the sound of clapping hands

In the corner your girlfriend's crying
her heart is broken and she thinks its dying
make a promise that she's the one you really love
it's the nature of the beast

Ten horses and the king is sleeping
in a dream he has lost his clothes
in second grade I was kicked for reading
what a day for a bloody nose

The teachers knew the meaning
what colors were we seeing
their empty questions make me feel alive

Pledge Allegiance to the flag that‚s burning
now my simple mind is lost and turning
make a promise that it's the one you really love
it's the nature of the beast

West of lost and north of nowhere
broken down like a pack of wolves
a free ride with your thumb extended
buckle up the moon is full

This highway goes forever
our driver wears a feather
through any kind of weather we keep moving on

Hailing cabs on a city street
anybody that you could meet
would make a promise that you're the one they really love

This highway goes forever
our driver wears a feather
through any kind of weather we keep moving on

In the corner your girlfriend's crying
her heart is broken and she thinks its dying
make a promise that she's the one you really love

it's the nature of the beast
Ten horses and the king is sleeping
in a dream he has lost his clothes
in second grade I was kicked for reading
what a day for a bloody nose

The teachers knew the meaning
what colors were we seeing
their empty questions make me feel alive

Pledge Allegiance to the flag that's burning
now my simple mind is lost and turning
make a promise that it's the one you really love
it's the nature of the beast
