Perusing my files today I came across this song which I wrote and performed with my friends in Restless Vision. OMG, that was 20 years ago! A lot has changed, but in some ways nothing has changed at all. Boys with toys trying to have some fun. Keep jammin Tommy, Joel and Rick!Out on the highwaySequestered lovers riding on the copper line,Desperate as the broken mother keeps time.Solitary ridersAdvertise for love from their machines."Save me from the passion that's felt and never seen."Looking through my window,The world comes at me streaming at the speed of light.Lonely message jams my head all night.Electric conversationUpon some topic I can share anonymously."Won't somebody please reach out and touch me!"Caught in a web of lies.Lost in the web of life. Stopping for relief and a meal The glare of kitchen lights reveal Another traveler who seeks repast. Meeting face to face, Retreating fast to cyberspace.The promise of connectionShines like a beacon across the storm tossed wilderness,The empty promise of progress.The promise of connectionTo turn this thorn into a flower so full and free.In the end it's still only me.Caught in a web of lies.Lost in the web of life.
