GETAWAY CAR

(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car...) It was the best of times The worst of crimes I struck a match And blew your mind But I didn't mean it And you didn't see it The ties were black The lies were white In shades of gray And candlelight I wanted to leave him I needed a reason X marks the spot Where we fell apart He poisoned the well I was lying to myself Knew it from the first Old fashioned we were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark You were driving the getaway car We were flying But we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Riding in a getaway car There were sirens In the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway car It was the great escape The prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinking And I was just drinking Well he was running after us I was screaming ‘Go go go!' But with three of us, honey It's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story And now we're both sorry X marks the spot Where we fell apart He poisoned the well Every man for himself I knew it from the first Old fashioned we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart You were driving the getaway car We were flying But we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Riding in a getaway car There were sirens In the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway car We were jet set Bonnie and Clyde Until I switched to the other side to the other side It's no surprise, I turned you in ‘Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in the motel bar I put the money in a bag And stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me You were driving the getaway car We were flying But we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Riding in a getaway car There were sirens In the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway car I was riding in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was dying in a getaway car Said ‘goodbye' in a getaway car I was riding in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was dying in a getaway car Said ‘goodbye' in a getaway car
