Leave behind your yesterday
And veer off the dead highway
Your boot prints in virgin snow
For no one walks down this low
Passed the last horse hitching post
Splintered wood along the coast
Dead cowboy wrapped in his flag
Mourned by the ghost of his nag
One last truck left in a ditch
Upturned and smashed the old bitch
An android hung from a tree
Spasm still in her right knee
Designed lives coded and clean
Snuffed out by a smiling queen
The man who unplugged it all
Tossed the Lifeware in his stall
Found what is left a mile back
Motherboard and a Big Mac
Half eaten special sauce meat
And silicon chips in heat
Nothing since but sun and snow
And magic powder for blow
The future is yours to make
Like absinthe baked in a cake
Dreamt up ghouls you call your own
More history to be sown
But outside your head just this
You’re one man lying in piss
A pilgrim down a long road
Too old to carry your load
So you leave yourself behind
For the sun and snow to find
One last speck swept up by time
The old snow sprinkled with lime
