Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers - Beautiful Disaster from Honky Tonk Union

Will you be my Mary Magdalene?
Would you be my american dream?
Will you mix your perfume up, from diesel fumes and gasonline?
Be my sweet insurgent
Unload the magazine
Let's shoot out the lights tonight
We've been waiting too long for them to turn green
Now take the wheel, the highway's clear,
I got the throttle now baby you steer
And let's squeeze every drop out of this machine
The coffee, the diesel, the methamphetamine
Until this God-damned rig can go no faster
Baby ain't we a beautiful disaster?

So, Now the stars burn their brightest
Just before they burn out.
Here in our prime I know it's just the way of things
So if we're short on years, baby we're long on miles
So let's grind the gears and sink the needle in the red on all the dials
Now take the wheel, highway's clear,
I got the throttle now baby you steer
And let's squeeze every drop out of this machine
The coffee, the diesel, the methamphetamine
'Til this God-damned rig can roll no faster
Baby ain't we a beautiful disaster?
You know I love to watch them angels fighting over you
heaven knows they left me long ago


Oooh, la salvadora
Oh, sweet catastrophy
Ahh, siren song
The captain says there's nothing wrong as I
dash my ship upon your shore
My drunk and reckless trubidor
I'm outside here hollerin' at your door
Beggin' you for more of you
Now take the wheel, highway's clear,
I got the throttle now baby you steer
And let's squeeze every drop out of this machine
The coffee, the diesel, the methamphetamine
'Til the horses scream that they can run no faster
Baby ain't we a beautiful disaster
Baby ain't we a beautfiul disaster
