My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
                            
Of oil that did run from the block
                                    
Of a falcon sedan nineteen sixty nine
                
The paper said '75
      *
There were no survivors
           
None found alive


                       
Trees break the sidewaaaaaalk
                         
And the sidewalk skins my knees
        
There's glass in my thermos
    
And blood on my jeans
                       
Nickels and dimes of the fourth of july
            
Roll off in a crooked line

To the chain-link lots
                    *
where the red tails dive
                         
Oh how I forgot what it's like


Chorus:


Hey, when she sings, when she sings
                        
when she sings like she runs
               
Moves like she runs

Hey, when she moves, when she moves
                        
when she moves like she runs
               
Moves like she runs

Hey there, there’s such tender wolves
       
‘round town tonight
          
Round the town tonight

Hey there, there’s such tender wolves
       
‘round town tonight
          
Round the town tonight

Verse:

                   
Hey pretty baby get high with me,
                             
We can go to my sisters if we say we'll watch the baby
                             
The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
    
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
            *
To see you again
                        
So I’ve fallen behiiiiiind…

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse:

            
Go on, go on scream and cry
                                   
You're miles from where anyone will find you
                      
This is nothing new, no television crew
                          
They don't even put on the sirens

My nightgown sweeps the pavement

Please don't let him die

Oh how I forgot...
