Getaway Car
(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car)
He was the best of times, the worst of crimesI struck a match and blew your mindBut I didn't mean itAnd you didn't see itThe ties were black, the lies were whiteThe shades of grey in candlelightI wanted to leave himI needed a reason
X marks the spot, where we fell apartHe poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myselfI knew it from the first old fashion, we were cursedWe never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were drivin' the getaway carWe were flyin', but we'd never get farDon't pretend it's such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meWe're ridin' in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShoulda know I'd be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met meIn a getaway carNo, we never get farNo, nothing good starts in a getaway car
He was the great escape, the prison breakThe light of freedom on my faceBut you weren't thinkin'And I was just drinkin'While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"But with three of us, honey, it's a side showAnd a circus ain't a love storyAnd now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
X marks the spot, where we fell apartHe poisoned the well, every man for himselfI knew it from the first old fashion, we were cursedIt hit you like a shotgun shot in the heart
You were drivin' the getaway carWe were flyin', but we'd never get farDon't pretend it's such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meRidin' in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShoulda know I'd be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met meIn a getaway carNo, we never get farNo, nothing good starts in a getaway car
We were jet-set, Bonnie and ClydeUntil I switch to the other sideTo the other sideIt's no surprise I turned you in'Cause us traitors never winI'm in a getaway carI left you in a motel barPut the money in the bag and I stole the keysThat was the last time you ever saw me
Drivin' the getaway carWe were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)Don't pretend it's such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meWe're ridin' in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShoulda know I'd be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met meIn a getaway carNo, we never get farNo, nothing could stops in a getaway car
I was flyin' in a getaway carI was cryin' in a getaway carI was dyin' in a getaway carSaid goodbye in a getaway carI was flyin' in a getaway carI was cryin' in a getaway carI was dyin' in a getaway carSaid goodbye in a getaway car
