Utopia Parkway

The king of Araby is coming home today
It’s bumper touching bumper on the roadway
The sun is in the sky just now but the road is gray

They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades
Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades
The caravan is sorry, the driver has a twenty and change

And we’re leaving all the road for dead
We’re getting tired of the twists and turns
You’ve gotta go when human nature calls
We’re driving
We’re driving through the valley of malls

God forgive the passengers if we should fail
To find a penny fountain or a half-off sale
I need a merchant I’ve just started searching for a holy grail

Fighting for their freedom from a common bond
To be a barracuda in a guppy pond
So little time for so many things to try on

And we’re leaving all the road for dead
We’re getting tired of her twists and turns
You’ve gotta go when human nature calls
We’re driving
We’re driving through the valley of malls
