Gas Lighting

On the way out the door by morning Keys still in the lock for strangers Stop at the bank for a cash transaction Empty is the account which has no funds Empty is the vehicle which runs on air High octane might get you there Around the corner is enlightenment Friends wait for you with questions Mighty is the business with money Gathering dust just out of reach Cars with gas can drive you crazy It is only fare to pay the price to strangers Who have your back and keys for a start If you start walking right now You will find arriving is a state of mind You might get there by midnight By gaslight, by morning if you can fly
