My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a falcon sedan nineteen sixty nine
The paper said '75
There were no survivors
None found alive
Trees break the sidewaaaaaalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There's glass in my thermos
And blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the fourth of july
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots
where the red tails dive
Oh how I forgot what it's like
Hey, when she sings, when she sings
when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey, when she moves, when she moves
when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there, theres such tender wolves
round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey there, theres such tender wolves
round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey pretty baby get high with me,
We can go to my sisters if we say we'll watch the baby
The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
To see you again
So Ive fallen behiiiiiind
(Repeat Chorus)
Go on, go on scream and cry
You're miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don't even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement
Please don't let him die
Oh how I forgot...
