lyrics

Silver car running drive it away today
Silver car running drive it away today
Don’t’ ask me for my money I wouldn’t give you nothing anyway!

You know the moon is pale, sky it is darker than hell
But the pain in my heart’s disappeared, left me naked standing still
Don’t use me as a hero, I’m a friend and I think I’m feeling well

Well you know the consequences of your moves
The struggle and the strain and the look of your high heel shoes
Might not be your style but it’s a dead give away

Oh you might hit the bottle but you’ll sober up one day

Witch hunt burners, crackpot ideals and dreams
Honey I don’t know what I’m singing and nothing is ever what it seems
If I had to put it bluntly, I’m gonna fake a smile for this machine!

Crazy little people running cold, ice between their fingers and hammers in their souls
Throw me off the rooftops, make the nightmares go away

And if I don’t hit the bottle I’ll sober up one day
