The Mirage

If not for these endless footsteps
 Like the sound of a gravel heartbeat
 I'd swear I was bein' pulled straight to it on a track like a Disneyland train
 Callin' my name
 Well, I know I walked for days
 But the sun, she never came
 The only break from the infinite night, a white city and its lights
 On the horizon
 My only option
 So I'll keep walkin'
 Well, imagine my surprise
 When I finally arrive to find (woah, oh, oh, oh)
 Much worse than a mirage
 Just a cheap slapdash façade
 Painted up like the city of my dreams
 Oh, if I hadn't seen it
 I would never believe it
 So I walk straight through back into the night
 What can I do but take it as proof you can never arrive?
 The truth, my only consolation
 And with that, I should be satisfied
 There is no destination
 There is only the ride
 There is no destination
 There is only the ride
 There is no sense in waiting (waiting)
 You can never arrive
 There is no destination
 There is only the ride
