Cold Beer and Cigarettes |
A white ghost, making his way up the west coast |
Trying to focus his high hopes on a vagina or two |
He’s taking his chances |
Meanwhile, back in his living room |
Bright smiles are watching his toddler run speed trials |
Over a grandmother’s rug |
And nature advances |
Up the interstate |
He’s been awake |
And pretty drunk for three whole days |
No one wants to stop |
Until they get to where they’re going |
I’ll get to where I’m going -- |
Pretty soon |
So he takes another drink |
'Cause watching the scenery bleed |
Into each similar scene |
Isn’t as sweet as it had been in his dreams |
It’s faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer |
If you don’t rattle the cashier |
By asking her back to your room |
She’s calling security |
Our car’s on fire in the parking lot |
And nobody wants it to rain |
But God isn’t listening |
So all of the windshields glisten |
The water and oil mix |
Causing the fire to spread |
To five or six |
Innocent automobiles |
Waiting in their nearby spots |
What a cruel God we’ve got |
Right on, right on, right on |
Right on, right on |
Right on, right on, right on |
Right on, right on |
So he takes another drink |
'Cause watching the formula bleed |
Into each similar theme |
Isn’t as sweet as it had been in his dreams |
