lyrics

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your cigarette ash flies out the window
We’re driving in my El Camino
Stuck to the leather like it’s a punk show
I’ll be your Exene if you’ll be my John Doe

You say that love never dies
Like you were only half-right
Your ghost caught in the headlights
Tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It’s hot as Hades, three in the morning
I’ve got no love left for the world I was born in
Lovers leave you without warning
Holding the matchstick ’til your fingers are burning

You say the heart never lies
Well that’s a good alibi
How did you make it through life
Starry-eyed?

So cut me deep and the blood will flow
Just let my heart bleed out across the desert road
There’s no hope to hold here anymore
White-knuckled grip and the pedal to the floor

You say that love never dies
Like you were only half-right
Your ghost caught in the headlights
Tonight
