You leave the engine running Parked in the cold As I run out To the store For a pack of smokes
 You can see the endless lights Of droning cars Those waves of steel 
Crashing on themselves. Chorus: You’re looking at yourself In the rear view mirror As your life speeds by Moving helps you feel real So you like to let the engine Run A hand over my paper It’s getting late The doors are locked It’s been that kind of day 

You’re sitting there 
Wishing that you could sleep 
You’re somewhere between a nightmare And a dream Chorus They won’t find us You let me in So we can hit the road 
We’ll be there in ten hours If the engine holds. We cast off our skins As the miles go by The end of the line Is its own kind of high Chorus They won't find us

Underground 05:26
Verse1 Two feathers
 Spinning in the air They were out to catch One last dance Before they got kicked out
 Without a cent They held each other 
As they slept trees Didn’t wake up
 Til a quarter to three He was fallen like the leaves She was covered in moss 
Chorus 
(she says) I’ve been living underground Maybe I’d do better Living underwater. 
The sea goddess She would keep me honest Down there in the darkness 
Drowning careless hunters 
And it almost makes sense But she’s running out of breath 
Well it almost makes sense She always ends up underground 
Verse2 She draws her blood
 With knives sharpened by time 
And dull pencils Someone left behind 
She keeps it simple There’s nothing she wants to hide 

A hard scene 
Angry faces in red 
Sold it for fifty It almost makes sense 
But later she’ll say 
She don’t remember it that way. Verse3 Her shadow’s long She has enough for a beer He’s off to score So she’s staying right here There’s a ghost whispering In her ear She breathes out
 Watches the cloud Disappear as Her spirit goes numb
 The dreams don’t come back 
After she lays down
