Lyrics

Well, love is power
And I play the rule
Well, love is power
And as an absolute
Corrupts entirely all our minds
And sets a course that we can't see
Well, love is war
And both sides lose
Well, love is war
And as an absolute
Corrupts entirely all our minds
And it's a language we can't use
What if I should call your name at night?
What if she can't come with me if we should come to fight?
What if I can never, never be nobody else's?
Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name aloud
Said she broke down and cried about how we can live apart
And all the people they were driving by
They watched her like she was mad
She knew she would never suffer from the madness that they had
Well, love is power
And I play the rule
Well, love is power
And as an absolute
Corrupts entirely all our minds
And sets a course that we can't see
Well, love is war
And both sides lose
Well, love is war
And as an absolute
Corrupts entirely all our minds
And it's a language we can't use
What if I should call your name at night?
What if she can't come with me if we should come to fight?
What if I can never, never be nobody else's?
Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name aloud
Said she broke down and cried about how we can live apart
And all the people they were driving by
They watched her like she was mad
She knew she would never suffer from the madness that they had
Baby takes off in a DC-10, stares down on Highway 5
Said she looked down and wondered why we can live apart
And all the people they were sitting
There like a smile on a foolish face
I fly five hundred miles an hour with no sense of time or space
Come on and leave me, baby
I would never, never lie to you, yeah
Come on and leave me, baby
Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name aloud
Said she broke down and cried about how we can live apart
And all the people they were driving by
They watched her like she was mad
She knew she would never suffer from the madness that they had
Baby takes off in a DC-10, stares down on Highway 5
Said she looked down and wondered why we can live apart
And all the people they were sitting
There like a smile on a foolish face
I fly five hundred miles an hour with no sense of time or space
Baby knelt down at the church's door ten miles down Highway 5
Said she looked up and asked to know why we can live apart
And all the people they were standing
Up and singing like they were mad
She don't get no answers to the questions that she had
Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name aloud
Said she broke down and cried about how we can live apart
And all the people they were driving by
They watched her like she was mad
She knew she would never suffer from the madness that they had
Heaven saw a map in a young girl's heart, ran through on Highway 5
Said it takes time to make mistakes for us to realize
We need each other like the air we
Breathe, ain't nothing that we can't do
No one else will ever make me quite as mad as you
Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name aloud
Said she broke down and cried about how we can live apart
And all the people they were driving by
They watched her like she was mad
She knew she would never suffer from the madness that they had
