lyrics

The Chevron on the corner of Lakeway and Ellis, three and a half blocks from home--they don't sell blue Sparks, but they've got five kinds of Pepperwood Grove. For all my talk, I don't pick up an application, because I don't actually want to work nights. But I pick up a purple lighter in case somebody else needs a light. I tell you I want a drag and you call me a liar. Probably I'm just trying to start fires, 'cuz I'm done with this. I am done with this. I don't want to be the only girl you're not allowed to kiss.

Any second grader would know better than to measure this distance in football fields. We simplify the equation with a bottle of shiraz, like pissing in the gas tank before we get behind the wheel. I tell you I'm going home and you call me a liar. Probably you're just trying to start fires, but I'm done with this. I am done with this. I don't want to be the only girl you're not allowed to kiss.
