Jack Kerouac went out on the road
Rushed down a sidestreet
Thought his head would explode
Hitched him a ride across America...
Don't tell me now because it's gonna start
Life and only living, or at least a part
Heroin in your eyes that sparkle like china,
In the goddess between two thighs I'm a
Renegade born again boozer
Such a beautiful loser
Jack Kerouac
Went out on the road...
The road less travelled, beside a wood
Nothing more to save, it's all no good
The old bums have returned, dead and gone away
My hobo father pray I have no name to say
The same pair of eyes in too many faces
The same heart-blood love in so many places
Jack Kerouac
Went out on the road...
Went out on the road...
The sublime eternal now
With piss and blood in a washroom stall
Awoke one morning alive and aware
In the frozen cosmic all
A spangled feathered serpent hanging down
Bit its own tail
Went spinning round and round
Jack Kerouac
Went out on the road...
Went out on the road...
Went out on the road...
Jack Kerouac...
