lyrics

Better yet, better get jealous of what didn’t get your name. Better you fake the truth. I tried to buy an aluminum toy from the booth outside the dojo with a ten buck coin from your old drawer. Don’t even know what you’ve been up to since the time you said I never saw the real you. Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie. I got you, but if you ever saw me, I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver. Riding in cars. Now I’m the bad girl you wanted. Pull the shades. Make the call. Get the feds crawling through the lawn. I got smoke in my iris. Backwater acid bath for riddle-rousing cowards. Better me than you’ve ever seen. Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie. If these are my last words, guess you found me. I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver. Riding in cars. Now I’m the dead girl you wanted. Don’t even know what you’ve been up to, and the me that you knew, that was some other me. Brain like a sphinx but got nails like a prom queen. Stay on the bleachers. From there you can watch me go riding in cars, but I’m not the driver. Riding in cars, more like the dead girl you wanted. Riding in cars and you’re not the driver. Forever and overly gone.
