Fate sits in a dark room
Crooked fingers counting
Rubbing two coins together
Silver as the devil's scripture
The rain slicks the ground like blood in black and white
Violence measured in miles per hour
In this lipstick criminal moonlight
Up ahead, a neon sign screams, "BREED!"
As I recall orgasms on pink sheets
My girl fortune
She left home
With a suitcase
And a gun
Just to serve
Hates** on the beach
At the Dead End Hotel
No Vacancy
No Vacancy
No Vacancy
There's a salacious convention at the gates of hell
(No Vacancy)
I mean Texas
The inconsistencies of our alibis stretch forever outward
Like the cracks in our windshield
I keep chancing glances at the blonde riding shotgun
With angel eyes staring bright into headlights
Thinking we lived our lives like mistakes, just waiting to happen
Unsmoked cigarettes burn to ash at our knuckles
The sky has since dried it's eyes and a**umed the color of a half-healed bruise
Dawn comes and goes
Just keep driving towards the sun, til I go blind, or burst into flames
Night falls every now and again with startling frequency
The last moon hung in my head for three whole days
Worms and all
The world is flat and we're trying to find an edge
We know HOW the world ends, just not WHERE the world ends
There's a factory at the edge of town that can manufacture this "elephant in the room"
Or is it more of an elephant graveyard?
If love is alone
Regret is in tow
This road never ends
So I'll drive really slow
Brick by brick
And stone by stone
We'll make a home
Of this yellow brick road
A phone rings in the desert
Rubbing two coins together
But the voodoo wives are gnawing at the bone
One last wink of a silver dollar
"f** me"
Forever sleep....
The guilt like cold breath
On our necks
Phantom ropes tighten as
The hangman's watch ticks
Buckle up and drive again
Fate sits in a dark room
With a haggard hand
That keeps moving peace
Just out of reach
