lyrics

Keep away from the main roads, baby
If you close your eyes they can almost sound like waves
And you can hear them crashing

Streets drizzled in a sleepy town
Where bullets with doors push the petrichor
And the sound of peeling Velcro knows no shame

Key ignition and a head check
Coffee keep you go-go-go for a deadline
A reassuring phrase is welcome
Ready face in the A/C heat
From the dashboard the curtain draws to the street,
Its bleak and void, and meaning takes no place
Takes no place

Alls I know’s you gotta look both ways
Wouldn’t wanna be a coat of paint
A spray in the eyes of passers by
On a Monday

Fear of god ain’t nothing to a necktie
Java-jive nine-to-high-five ball-and-chain
They say red goes faster
Flick the high beams up
Joust the fog, pierce the veil, make good time
Til a blinded corner meets a blinding fate

Heart drops like a boomgate
Tension to the back, bone dry and a toothache
An early grave is met with laughter
He looks down, looks up
Sips the cup, taps the screen with a foot change
But he spills the bean when the windscreen shatters haze
Shatters haze

Alls I know’s you gotta look both ways
Wouldn’t wanna be a coat of paint
A spray in the eyes of passers by
On a Monday
