Cecil Otter - Boxcar Diaries lyrics

[Hook] x2 Outside, there's a boxcar waitin' for us. It ain't in a rush So we can paint with a brush made of patience and such And keep the faith in our guts [Verse 1] Now these ants in my heart got it dancin' in the dark With a flash and a spark, she advances with a shark In a choke hold, no cold, we're eatin' good tonight The two leadin' look-a-likes, from every seedy nook in site Hindsight flight of the offshore fishermen This feelin' even better than the fair-weather men That led me to believe, led me to the seas Where the fish and disease are just wicks lit in the breeze Leave, the injuries leave like a treaty From the hand of the bleeding, while we stand there repeating "We can't leave this evening; it's too young to start retreating We can't leave this evening; it's too young to start retreating." [Bridge]x2 So now we're leaping from highs to highers As we're sleeping beside a fire And it's creeping inside the bed Creeping inside the bed, creeping inside the bed [Hook] x2 [Verse 2] So with a stomach full of monarchs and eat, sleep on repeat We leave them two leaves and leave this life At ease riders on a storm Too perfect to put into words; perfect is what it deserves Curve the hurt and the nerves, so we can work our limbs Around an urge and grin and bear the verge of overk** Motor sk** heads, heading towards a bed of roses, called a haystack And on the way back, I see her face crack She's having dreams that a runaway cat came back And I don't know what to say that'll change that And I can't take that (I can't) So when I can taste your misery, vividly I want to instantly turn it into history Bitterly sweet hearts and in the restart Livin' like we heart too heart to heart for... [Hook] x4
