lyrics

“Shut Up and Drive”

Oh, Lord, turn down the radio.
For once, be a god who’s kind and just.
There’s something in that melody, it gets my tears a’falling.
Starts a long lost memory covered in rust.

Oh, Lord, don’t turn down that avenue.
What sinister trap hath thee laid for me?
Ghost peer from parlor windows and they whisper awful curses
Behind silk curtains like archenemies.

This road we’re on is paved with good intentions.
But if I were you there’s quite a few things I wouldn’t mention.
Let me cry these tears I’ve earned.
It’s a little late to act concerned.
Like sleeping dogs and dusty urns,
Not every stone needs to be turned.

Oh, Lord, don’t you remind me,
When I’m the one who lives with it everyday.
If my memory serves me well, there was just one set of footprints,
With the other pair clearly running away.
