			''Puncture'' asked Eitzel about where the car sounds at the start of the song were recorded, which Eitzel said, "By the freeway right outside the studio. That song started out with the freeway noise. I wrote it for that on-ramp. I was going to write a whole album of those songs, site-specific songs which would give you an impression of each place, like on top of a fifteen-story building. But I only wrote four of them..."<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Puncture_-_February_1990 \| work=Puncture \| date=February 1990 \| author=Steve Connell \| title=American Music Club \| accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
Here they roll down 
Like a miracle that's over 
Here they slow down 
Like a miracle that's over

Tell them for me, as you see them speeding by, 
That their lights don't light the way 
Tell them for me, if you can catch their eye, 
That I'd never stand in their way

Here they roll down 
Like a miracle that's over 
Here they slow down 
Like a miracle that's over

You can't find as you're speeding by 
Anywhere you want to stop 
You can't find as you're speeding by 
Anyone to raise you up

Here they roll down 
Like a miracle that's over 
Hey you slow down 
Like the miracle was over

If your broken face can find a lover 
Give away your chance to fly 
Give away your will power

Hey look at me I'm free

You can hear them fall out 
You can see them toss it up 
You can be caught in their lights as they flash by 
You can go with them without knowing why
