Untitled Song 3

I think I actually wrote the core of this in the late 1990s but hated myself too much to put it here at first. I think all the missing bits are written down somewhere.

Lyrics

I know they've got you by the short hairs, love
But everything will be alright.
(something something) the sky is up above
and the stars are waiting every night.

Empty back streets where the mountains blow away
Lonely highways full of sky
(something something something...)
and you might end up believing life's a lie.
