Lyrics Vanity Plate - Daniel Mustard

Vanity Plate

Sign says no turning on red
No idling either
And sign says, at least what I read, no stopping here neither
And I should’ve known by now, I’d never get so much as a breather so
I stall instead, so my sign says
Sign says half a mile more and we can pullover
Sign says watch for the dogs this close to the shoulder
I could’ve held my own but everything I hold’s growin' colder so
On foot I fled, so my sign says
I know it’s late, but what is the time when the stars shone so great
Don’t leave me alone in this car
Aching and breaking
Taken in by the interstate
Cause I can’t relate to your vanity
Sign says, while travelling at night, don’t drive too rapid and
Sign says stop at the light
And you duck through traffic and
I should’ve bet by far for better but
My fears are too graphic so I’ll go my mind
So my sign says
I know it’s late
But what is the time when the stars shone so great
Don’t leave me alone in this car
Aching and breaking
Taken in by the interstate
Cause I can’t relate to your vanity
And when you’re gone, oh I’ll never find my way home
Street lamps alone could never light a long-winding road like
Fragments of bones, scattered across the sky
Could illuminate
Why
By your grace, go
I know its late, but what is the time when the stars shone so great
Don’t leave me alone in this car
Aching and breaking
Taken in by the interstate
Cause I can’t relate
To your vanity
I can’t relate to your vanity, plate
I can’t relate to your vanity
