I Will Truck Lyrics

i will truck
faster than the world revolves
i will jet
spirals 'round the leaves as they fall

i'll turn faster than they stay in their seasons.
in revolving it changes--
and i don;t trust the axis
or the allies.

eh leve woul speh hey raal don aon on.
(the leaves will spiral down one by one.)

there's a file with a bunch of lyrics and interpretations of the western vinyl website, here's what it has to say Henley vows to seek the Wilderness and discover the shape of Love. He says, "put me on the highway and show me a sign." He wanders the highways and the skyways, past the debutantes in Houston, past the street corner in Winslow, Arizona. He imagines himself along the lines of the firework–the truck, the jet. Henley moves so fast that to look at him burns in the retinas the ghost image of a colonist: he is the energetic expender who will transcend nature and then die into the arms of the conquered.

He references World War II when he says "I don't trust the Axis or the Allies." I don't know if he's being metaphoric or literal, which I doubt. The Triple Axis is the Japan-Italy-Germany alliance, and the Allies is the France-Russia-UK alliance.
