Gridlock Lyrics - Warren Zevon

written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music Inc./BMI 

It's 5: 00 P.M. on a weekday, friend 

There's one of me and two million of them 

The whistle blows and the factories close 

There's a million more commuters on the access roads 

The brake lights flash--there's an RV crashed 

I'm in the passing lane going nowhere fast 

The traffic crawls and the engine stalls 

I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl 

Gridlock 

Up ahead 

There's a line of cars as far as I can see 

Gridlock 

Goin' nowhere 

Roll down the window, let me scream

Oh yeah, ain't it a shame 

We're all jammed up at the interchange 

The paramedics and the CHP 

Wait impatiently for catastrophes 

I'm spending half my days like this 

I might as well be working on the midnight shift 

The radio's tuned to the traffic news 

And everybody's choking on monoxide fumes 

Gridlock 

Up ahead 

There's a line of cars as far as I can see 

Gridlock 

Goin' nowhere 

Roll down the window, let me scream 

I can close my eyes and dream 

I can close my eyes and dream 

I can close my eyes and dream

It's 5: 00PM on a weekday, friend 

I'm going home but I don't know when 

I hate this traffic and I hate this town 

Gotta honk my horn, try to get around 

I feel like going on a killing spree 

Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD 

The traffic crawls and the engine stalls 

I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl 

Gridlock 

Up ahead 

There's a line of cars as far as I can see 

Gridlock 

Goin' nowhere 

Roll down the window, let me scream 

I can close my eyes and dream
