Trucks

Who can tell what´s there to find
under deep waters
thousands of meters
under the waves

i´ve been thinking lately
i could be there
at last find peace
with the fish all around me

they took the plates from my truck
last thursday night
i can travel the roads
with a temporary permit

i sleep on abandoned truckstops
in the middle of the forests
i have no permission to stop
they are still negotiating

well, someone has to do this
they made me a promise
the final containment area
will be certain this summer

the cargo behind me
no one knows what it contains
the men with geiger-counters
put on their masks

i wish i could get home at last
after thirteen years meet my children
and my wife´s new husband

but there are no white spots
on the map anymore
you can´t watch the earth from far enough
you can´t escape your cargo
