A Movie Script Ending

Whenever I come back
 The air on Railroad is making the same sounds
 And the shop fronts on Holly are dirty words
 Asterisks in for the vowels
 We peered through the windows
 New bottoms on barstools, but the people remain the same
 With prices inflating
 Inflating
 ♪
 As if saved from the gallows
 There's a bellow of buzzers
 And people stop working
 And they're all so excited, excited
 ♪
 Passing through unconscious states
 When I awoke, I was on
 The highway, highway
 Highway, highway
 With your hands on my shoulders
 A meaningless movement, a movie script ending
 And the patrons are leaving
 Leaving
 Passing through unconscious states
 When I awoke, I was on
 The highway, highway
 Highway, highway
 Highway, highway
 
 Highway, highway
 ♪
 And now, we all know the words were true
 In the sappiest songs, yes, yes
 And I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep
 Just shuffling the sheets to toss and turn
 You can't begin to get it back
 Passing through unconscious states
 When I awoke, I was on
 The onset of a later stage
 The headlights are beacons on
 The highway, highway
 Highway, highway
 Highway, highway
 ♪
 Highway, highway
