Blue Car 05:29 video
You can't win The car will return With no one behind the wheel Then Drive away You can't win The beast will appear But only to you And no one Believes you No one I'll bring your houses right next to mine Woodland, Churchill, Lawrence, and Vine When the sky bends down to spit on the trees Will you leave me there in once piece? And you can't win The car will return With someone behind the wheel Then Drive away
2.
Don't touch me Don't touch me With dirty hands God knows where they've been God knows where they've been The top of the list Or the bottom of sin Don't look at me Don't look at me With those eyes God knows what they've seen God knows what they've seen All the unthinkable All the unclean When virtue takes the day off All the pigs will eat from the trough All the pigs eat from the trough Shall I begin where I left off Don't talk to me Don't talk to me With those lips God knows what they've kissed God knows what they've kissed The animal tongue Or the prostitute fist Don't touch me Don't touch me With dirty hands God knows where they've been God knows where they've been God knows where they've been
3.
Your house is still there It looks like garbage And you sit on the porch With some old woman A little statue A broken shelf I’m glad you’re laughing I like to look back and laugh myself You live by the Venture Where the cars go With their lights off By the Venture Behind the Venture Your house is on fire It has been for ages Burning alive All while it rages Life is a gift It keeps on giving See what you’ve done Look where you’re living You’ll always live By the Venture to me You’ll always live By the Venture to me
4.
Walk around In your down Till you've seen The whole thing Evry house Holds on Tell a lie Till it's true To be loved By the likes of you Could be something Could be
5.
In your pocket Or the bedroom Or the place you'd rather be From the backyard Through a window Tell me who you see When all you want is more They'll ask you what it's for Again It shoots one in the sky It puts one in the ground They'll stick one in your eye Or the fortune you found It takes one from the back Then puts two in a row It's someone you trust It's a person you know Then When you get your turn Come just to watch it burn Could you? How could you?
6.
Your mother and my father bought a house Your mother and my father bought a house With a deck and a garage And a hundred rooms And a basement wall of doors Surrounded you In trouble, in trouble afternoon In trouble, in trouble in your room For looking through the hole At the girl next door Who would brush her sister's hair A hundred times Slow river, low river, waterfall Slow river, no river after all For a place is never small Till it's been seen Time has worn away the hill from our ravine
7.
White Oaks Mall Before you were born I drove my car Around and around For days on end From town to town The fog and the rain The window down Stop where you stand A girl and a man Are gone from sight Ten years from now I tried to get back I don't know how White Oaks Mall The signs are gone I can't see the light I don't know the song
8.
1992 The year you almost drown You crept and crawled into The house we both share now The phone falls from your hand And both your legs begin to fail you In the morning you will see Me standing over you Enjoying this And I'll say Something distasteful In 1995 You met someone but then As long as you're alive You'll always have a friend And I'll know I'll know You can be good again

Same game If without And you can't win If you didn't begin No you can't win . . . (can't win) (can't win) Same game If without And you can't win What you didn't begin No you can't win . . .
