Traffic On the Highways

Traffic on the highways
Traffic on the sea;
Traffic on the airways 
What a sorry scene

Madness over dust and dross
Crazy clamour for bubbles
And zeal for the zenith of loss
 All these will end in tumbling troubles

Many chicks want to fly 
And servants want the royal scepter
All in just a twinkle of an eye;
What a deadly desire.

Traffic on the highways
Madness over dust and dross 
But at the end of our days 
All will end a lasting loss.
