Meanwhile Back Home

Meanwhile back home I have misplaced myself And I don’t even know what to tell you My car, pallid and too old for words Orange light inside, hit it to make it disappear Engine refusing to start Nothing on the radio but sweet, sweet static I don’t even think the tape deck works I’m watching a deserted parking lot And I’m not sure what I’m looking for No one speaks They’re all busy floating through the air Above me and my orange light And my awful automobile But I’m unable to recognize any of you
