peppermint dreams(Arnold Melleby, 02.14.2025)

 

headlights on

driving on roads

never driven before

as the cigarette in the ashtray

embers on


I`m not making any turns tonight

gotta go all the way

I gotta

go all the way


my drowsy head

between passing cars and trucks

headlights and taillights

eyes drying out

will I make it or not

before sunrise

only the darkness can tell


drifting in and out

of peppermint dreams

drifting in and out


as the tank nears emptiness

it`s time to fuel the soul as well

gobbling on 

whatever`s wrapped in plastic

even the devil can tell

what`s good or bad


back in my choice of ride

the road is still open wide

swallowing the miles

like a killer whale on the prowl

making waves on the tarmac

in the wake you cannot hide


drifting in and out

of peppermint dreams

drifting in and out

of peppermint dreams

will I get there

or will I doom

come sunset

come to me


drifting in and out

of peppermint dreams

drifting in and out

of peppermint dreams

will I get there

or will I doom

come sunset

come to me
