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
