Somewhere I took a wrong turn down the interstate of life
And I don't know which way I have to turn around to set things right.
Somewhere I lost control of my direction and I cannot find my way
And I know I will be alone again in my room at the end of the day.

Every hour I remind myself how glad I am to do things on my own
And I love to meet new friends that can show me how to have some fun.
But every time I see a woman I see my reflection in her eyes
And I know she sees through me and can read all of my subconscious lies.

Two sides play a dangerous game of tug-of-war as they pull on either side
They play without a rope and neither one could possibly ever hope to win.
My sane side tells me I don't need someone to get into my way
The beast within is still searching and knows I'll find her one day.

There's a full moon out this evening and I can feel my body start to grow
My body shakes and quivers as my hot breath fogs the frozen air.
Maybe I will hear her howl return my call in this cursed, bitter night
Or maybe I'll just keep roaming and no one will survive my plight.
