There is a mountaintop in Sausalito - That I go to when I feel low
I like to know how high I can go – like a saint climbin’ on his halo
I like the air that – you get - up there
And there’s an alien in my window – and I’m not scared but
It’s definitely a close encounter – The Director’s cut
And I’m not scared – but they are everywhere
And sometimes they want to fight
But I don’t have the energy tonight
Where is my sabre of light
I’m gonna scare them off tonight

Just like the nights with no curtains - in our railroad room
With only TV and the streetlights - we fought off gloom
We were the sentries – of the night
And I never thought I’d consider this – but here I am
Never thought that I could steal a kiss – well maybe I can
Daydreams devour my mind
And night dreams are easy tonight
But Highway 99 runs right up to the sky
And you will cry and you can die – on Highway 99

Armies of angels assemble
Right under the moon
As holy empires crumble – and about time too
Some debts the taxman never collects – it’s true
Like I never declared – that I still love you


A Yokohama fog falls and curls – Gravity controls this world
Just like love we don’t understand – These forces make all their demands
An armada of anger – is anchored off Stavanger
A Sargasso Sea of sorrow – can smother all our tomorrows
The Kerry rain – runs down my lane
Time to decide if I will ride – on Highway 99
There ain’t nowhere to hide - Seattle sleep could be mine
Virginia plains – will be my domain


I should take any other road – not Highway 99
There’s many other ways I know – not Highway 99
I really love the scenery – on Highway 99
There are dark and deep ravines – on Highway 99
It is the most dangerous road – Highway 99
Where your conscience can explode – Highway 99
A year can pass in just a day – on Highway 99
Your whole life can slip away – on Highway 99
There are so many wrecks – on Highway 99
Am I gonna be the next ? – on Highway 99
Well what do you expect ? – on Highway 99
There is no life after death on Highway 99
