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
"Star Witness"
My true love drowned in a dirty old pan Of oil that did run from the block Of a falcon sedan 1969 The paper said '75 There were no survivors None found alive
Trees break the sidewalk 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 deadly wolves 'round town tonight Round the town tonight Hey there there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight Round the town tonight
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 To see you again
So I've fallen behind:
[Chorus]
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
