New Year - Gasoline lyrics

The pattern on this rug tells a story It's gory chaos but ordered and hoary And I hate it but strangely respect it like Gasoline Now I'm lying in the fetal position I know I never should have been a musician When I knew my ears would lose their audition Gasoline I like the way you smell Gasoline I never knew I knew you so well We always know just what to do Until the future comes Now look what we've been through Only cowards seek refuge in a second language I should have learned how to speak my native one I was afraid I wouldn't know how to use my tongue Gasoline You're more than a finished product Running down the aqueduct What I should do and what I do are like brothers They're driven by so much more than they're needed That they're blinded they can't see they're both Driven by Gasoline leaking through an empty tank Gasoline The future's never what I think I thought we knew what we were doing But we've considered the unthinkable
