Driving down the freeway with my eyelids shut
Counting fast frantic seconds, until I open them up
You’ve got your hand on the wheel, I’ve got my foot on the gas
Time slows down like honey, I let go, I feel alive at last
Here in the womb we feel so light
The street lights start to blossom and scribble in the sky
We drove for miles and miles, highs angels, through the fog
With our hearts on fire, waves of pleasure, burning surging through our blood
You and me
Are thin as weeds
Tonight we’ll be
As thick as thieves
Our eyes we’re swallowed up by black ink pools
Inhibitions and clothes flew away like balloons
My aura burst at the seams, we cleaned and purged our souls
Mascara ran all down her cheeks, she never looked more beautiful
I kept my heart safe in a tourniquet
Bound and caged in my ribs, to keep from bleeding to death
She let it loose from its prison, she went and made it her pet
She promised to return it the day the smoke returned to her cigarette
You and me
We’re thin as weeds
In time our dreams
Would die like leaves
