Leave the Engine Running

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

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
