Lyrics

mieru no wa tsugi no kado dake
sore dake de juu-bun
Two hundred metres. That is the entire allowance.
Two hundred metres of road at a time, in the dark, at speed,
and it has been enough for every journey anybody has ever finished.
Nobody gets shown the whole route in advance.
Not one person. Not once.
The roads are absolutely full.
Headlights. (mieru no wa tsugi no kado dake)
Two hundred metres. (sore dake de juu-bun)
That's all you get and that's all you need.
The rest of it arrives as you go.
Headlights. (headlights)
You are not lost. You are simply
in the part you can't see yet.
The demand for certainty is the most expensive habit going.
It costs decades. It gets paid in evenings. It has never delivered.
People waiting for the whole map to be handed over
are still at the junction with the engine running.
Move. Something else lights up.
That is the physics of the thing, start to finish.
Only the next bend. (the next bend)
The bend after that will be there
by the time you need it.
Nobody drove anywhere
by demanding to see the destination first.
Foot down. (foot down)
Two hundred metres is a fortune.
Two hundred metres is the whole game.
Go, and the road appears.
It has never once worked in the other order,
for anybody, in the entire history of going anywhere.
