On the highway
I am on the highway
Parading lonely
With blank mind
And painful thoughts
In a motiveless direction
Machines and automobiles
Are moving more merrily
Plundering increment
Of my pleasure
On the highway
Fountain of lights are dancing
Like glittering glass pieces of discos
But I in the midst
Cornering myself
Like the midnight village bulb
On the highway crowd
I helplessly run for a machine of heart
Who could beat for me
Miles I moved and paraded
On the highway
Could not fetch a machine of heart
I found all heart turned machine
On the highway
