[Verse 1] I left at dusk with the chrome still hot Eighteen wheels and a head full of dots The map bent sideways in my lap East to wet diagonal, then I never looked back The cab breathed smoke like a chapel door Word search grids on the dashboard floor I found “grave” in the glove box stain And every mile said my name again [Pre-Chorus] Crossways, baby The lines start to melt Crossways, baby I can’t trust what I felt [Chorus] Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m rolling through the night Psychedelic, psychedelic With the ghosts in my headlights Psychedelic, psychedelic Keep me on the line Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m lost and feeling fine [Verse 2] Haunted stereos hissed my sins A preacher’s laugh in the AM pins Then a dead man DJ on channel nine Spun my fear into a dotted line I ate one curve like a licorice twist Saw a pink deer and a silver fist The road kept folding like a paper snake And the stars wore boots on the overpass break [Pre-Chorus] Crossways, baby The signs lean left Crossways, baby My shadow’s bereft [Chorus] Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m rolling through the night Psychedelic, psychedelic With the ghosts in my headlights Psychedelic, psychedelic Keep me on the line Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m lost and feeling fine [Bridge] Now the Bible in the sleeper glows While the blacktop blooms and the whole cab sways If I blink, the miles turn kaleidoscope If I stay awake, I might just cope [Final Chorus] Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m rolling through the night Psychedelic, psychedelic With the ghosts in my headlights Psychedelic, psychedelic Keep me on the line Psychedelic, psychedelic I’m lost and feeling fine
