Ride |
At any moment, you know |
Your manufactured cool could blow |
Welcome to the land of pointless and destructive |
You keep whining and crying into your beer |
Complaining the reception doesn’t come in clear |
(you just can’t make a connection) |
What are all the pretty people on? |
No one ever learns to speak American |
There are only so many Kung Fu movies you can watch |
Haircut, hometown, heroin friends |
You make excuses, you should make amends |
Who do you call for help when all your friends are dead? |
Now they’re calling to you from the bar |
And they’re fucking with your film noir |
And you wear your hope like Christmas |
Now I don’t know how to break this to you |
But her blue eyes were never blue |
So now the good times are gone but really, they never arrived |
The terrycloth’s beneath the tie |
And another liar’s caught in a lie |
«I love you» hangs in the air like a subtitle |
There’s a war going on inside the bar |
She calls for the check, you call for the car |
And when you kiss her she tastes like hot candy |
Now you’re just left to wonder |
How she sized you up in three minutes or under |
She’s out of your league, you’re out of your mind |
Things only feel true |
When someone’s abusing you |
You are sometimes startled you are never surprised |
There are only two speeds: fast and faster |
Now you’re lashed to mast and lashed to master |
Whether you’re in bed or in court, everybody gets off |
So she smokes to keep from eating |
And you fuck her to keep from feeling |
And this is a taste, and this is a waste |
And these are all of your days sacrificed |
You’re rocking out in an empty room |
You’ve built your house, it’s become your tomb |
Mmm thanks, she says, I’ll keep my options open |
Now you’re nervous with hope, nervous with fear |
She’s barely gone, and you’re barely here |
Here comes the cocaine wake up call |
And like a boy, not a slave to fame |
You kissed lipstick only after money came |
Born in New York 30 years ago, you’ve died several times since |
Drive through tunnels and crawl through caves |
And suffer through a life no city can save |
They’ve got an unmarked car with your name on it |
So she smoked to keep from eating |
And you fucked her to keep from feeling |
And that was a taste, and that was a waste |
Now these are all of your days magnified |
Style over content. |
You know the other |
Keep slugging it out in the superstructure |
If you love something, chances are you can’t afford it |
Forget what’s ahead and what’s past |
And live every day as if it were the last |
The dead man never knows he’s dead |
