divide the lanes... it's these "white lines" that are metaphorically equitable with what Bowie takes: "on the road" is a euphemism for "lines of cocaine". "Kilometers" is a reference to the massive amounts of coke that he used. "Kilometers" of "white lines" that are "on the road". "always looking left and right" is the paranoia that comes with usage. No idea about "Jasmine, I saw you peeping". "As I put my foot down to the floor" is a euphemism for the action of snorting a line; it's in line wit the larger metaphor of car-based-travel that is habitual coke use. General Comment: To poster #2, jimmymike -- who told you Bowie ever had an opiate habit?? Bowie was a coke head, not an opiate user -- that's why his memory is fried, as he attests. Opiates don't do that, period. Lots of coke and paranoia when he was making Low. That was the defining characteristic of the sessions for Bowie: Bowie being in a state that prevents him from remembering anything about the sessions, except why he can't remember them. So, if it's about drugs, it's definitely about coke. And it'd be hard, I think, for a man as intelligent as Bowie to sing these lyrics, about driving in circles at high *speeds* and *crashing* without thinking on his coke use, regardless what the initial meaning was. It's pretty clearly coke, though. BTW, there's a really great video clip that VH1 showed in a Behind the Music or whatever that
