Song lyrics
Whenever I come back, 
The air on Railroad is making the same sounds, 
And the shop fronts on Holly, 
Are dirty words (asterisks in for the vowels) 
We peered through the windows, 
New bottoms on barstools 
But the people remain the same. 
With prices inflating, inflating… 

As if saved from the gallows. 
There's a bellow of buzzers 
And the people stop working 
And they're all so excited, excited… 

Passing through unconscious states, 
When I awoke, I was on the highway. 
Highway, highway, highway. 

With your hands on my shoulders, 
A meaningless movement, 
A movie script ending. 
And the patrons are leaving, leaving… 

Passing through unconscious states, 
When I awoke, I was on the highway. 
Highway, highway, highway. 
Highway, highway, highway. 
Highway.. 

now we all know the words were true 
in the sappiest songs (yes, yes) 

I'll put them to bed, 
But they won't sleep, 
They're just shuffling the sheets, 
They toss and turn 
(you can't begin to get it back) 

Passing through unconscious states, 
When I awoke, I was on 
The onset of a later stage: 
The headlights are beacons on the highway. 
Highway, highway, highway. 
Highway, highway, highway. 
Highway..

This is a really good song. As far as I can tell, it's about a dream of the singer's home. Maybe he's home sick? The phrase "passing through unconscious states" sounds dream-like or maybe even a reference to travel. When he says "when I awoke, I was on the highway" gives me the impression that he dreams about his home because he misses it. Just my thoughts. Great song.
