Only all of them, but I suspect 'Tired Road'.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who happen to be walking about. ~ Mercutio... erm, GK Chesterton.

That's the one. What does 'nightblind' mean, anyway?

Get there yourself was my point. :P

The lateness of the hour obscuring one's perception of a situation.

See, that wasn't so hard. You didn't have to quote Roland Barthes at me first

It was an ego thread, but go ahead.

Catapult

Skiing down the slippery slope
Of shattered hopes.
Living in the fast lane,
Life won't be the same.
She went up top,
Couldn't ever stop
The hi's, then lies and goodbyes
Down the road...

[Chorus]:
WHY DID IT START?
HOW DID IT START?
WHEN WILL IT STOP?
A catapult that goes on and on.
She sees You,
She needs You-
Why won't she call?

A leads to B to C to D again;
Someday it's gonna stop,
But who knows when?
She sees her mistake,
But she's gonna fall.
She's going to the edge-
How far to lose it all?

[Chorus]

Bridge:
Sometimes we don't know how to stop.
Speeding reckless, can't see light above.
We've got to reach out, hold it...

[Chorus]
