Come on baby do you think it's good to feel Like I'm lying here swimming in memories I fear God because everything dies babe Got a gun in the back of my car A spasm of good sense is making my eye twitch I've had enough of all your consolation I'm drowning caught in a shit tide Tape my face to the inside of love Nothing to eat but fears in the back seat Well I've met God and he had nothing to say to me I pray to God that you're right before my eyes Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes Don't wanna waste no more time Time's what we don't have Everywhere I look someone dies Wonder when it's my turn How well do you know me? Leave an open door, what you looking for Babe when you come down? I built a time machine to escape from All the pain in the back of my car Living's a problem because everything dies babe Save yourself you're not too far away I pray to God that you're right before my eyes Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes Don't wanna waste no more time Time's what we don't have Everywhere I look someone dies Wonder when it's my turn
