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 |
