Big Black Car - Gregory Alan Isakov

So much comin' in I do not know where to begin I just follow the lead you're pulling And I get lost in your trail So much more to tell You just ask me if I'm doing well But I do not know what the hell I just swallow hard In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing So much you can see Should I let you make a woman of me? Should I let you take the mystery from me? See the inside of my room at night? Sometimes you will find Things I do not know how to leave behind I've been grappling with my mind I've been stuck inside a jail In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing The cold of winter warms my blood, and he's hot like a bed of steel He finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills I could follow close behind and slowly disappear But I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him In his eyes, black diamonds I could die And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling So much more to do Come on, let me make a man outta you I could gather you, and you tell the truth You could cry inside my arms You could cry inside my arms like a child You could cry You could cry

No, nothin' 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 in candlelight I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' 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, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' 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 thinkin' and I was just drinkin' While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "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 (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 (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' 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, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh) Until I switched to the other side, to the other side It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh) 'Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in a motel bar Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me (oh!) Drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far (don't pretend) Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car I was ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car Ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car

Two kids with curious hearts Not afraid to break Running wild, running too far Trying to find a way Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better One glass of cheap champagne It's now or it's never, we hope it's forever All we got is one way, leaving fingerprints behind Cause if I got you, if you got me We don't need nothing else at all Sleeping all day, driving all night Looking for a place we want to go Stole the night, now this world is ours, love Just us kids in a getaway car Change our names, make friends in new places Be anyone we want Through the days, millions of faces We're always holding on Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better One glass of cheap champagne It's now or it's never, we hope it's forever We ran away, leaving fingerprints behind Cause if I got you, if you got me We don't need nothing else at all Sleeping all day, driving all night Looking for a place to call our home Stole the night, now this world is ours, love We're chasing love in a getaway car And we're singing Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy Babe if we're crazy, I'd rather be crazy We don't need anything at all We'll find a place to call our own Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better One glass of cheap champagne It's all or it's never, we hope it's forever, our love Cause if I got you, if you got me We don't need anything at all Sleeping all day, driving all night Looking for a place to call our own Stole the night, now this world is ours, love It's just us kids in a getaway car Two kids with curious hearts, not afraid to break

That wasn't any better at all That didn't make me feel any better at all I thought it would, but it didn't My consciousness is bigger It gives me no pleasure to say My consciousness is bigger than yours It gives me no pleasure And we descend the basement Poorly done murals, the faces If there wasn't a house, we would build one with our bodies Hang on to my ego Everything is coming loose tonight I'm too nervous for boys now I'm too nervous for girls now Every bottle you drink must be recycled and Every plastic cup that can't be recycled in this town At the party kids come in and out Talking about T.S. Eliot It starts out fun Because the night is young But then the night gets old And it just gets cold And we go outside And we go back inside And we say what's the plan And there is no plan so we go La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la I just need to wake up burst into motion Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy I just need to take off, burst into motion I just need to get up burst into motion Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy I just need to get off It wasn't fun It wasn't educational It lingered on I put my fingers on you were gone Let's get away from these despicable people They can't keep their mouths to themselves I know there's lots of other guys with my name here But tell me I'm the only one that you will Does anybody use this bathroom in the daytime? Is this a house or the set of a film? Let's get away from these awful people They can't keep their minds to themselves I refuse to let go until you're impressed I refuse to let go until I'm depressed I see you reaching out to t-t-t-touch My skin shrinks, I think I'll be shocked By that static It's too dynamic Because I never wanted you to change I only wanted you to be different Like, not so distant Cause we are alone in our orgasms But your flesh seems so solid Why does it melt away In the morning dew? I'm sorry, I thought someone was there Like two mirrors gazing into each other's eyes Like two microphones kissing But oh, that night, that music! The longer it goes, the more important I feel But oh, those lights, those colors! The less I can see, the more I can feel B----- said never to write about what's in my pockets But that's where my hands are, and that's where they'll stay Because you're used to a softer touch She's just used to a gentler touch She is used to a gentleman's touch But hey man it's cool when you do it We are alone in our dreams Do we have to sleep tonight? Murmur, murmur! Coward! Building towards a meaning that'll never come Leave someone beautiful Find someone horrible Dig me I just want to have sex with you I just want to fuck you I just want to have sex with you I just want to fuck you When I say stop, When I say stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! Bounce and stretch I stretch into a smile Not just my face, my body, my soul Because I view life as something that I Don't think I'll get away with And you think that we've already gotten away Yeah we all have dreams, I know I should have forgotten them in the morning (A dead dog painted on the sea) If none of us know the words then only the melody matters Na na na na na na na na na na na matters I wrote this verse drunk I thought it would solve everything I thought it would But it didn't When everyone was going homewards Did you cry because it was over? Or did you cry because you knew it would never end? As long as we don't go to sleep yet I promise I can't go to sleep yet Cause the night's not dead, no the night's not dead I will not go alone to my single-size bed I don't know what that means We could go anywhere But we will always be where we are We could go anywhere But we will always be where we are I waited for you on the eastern shore Watching people trying to act sober on the other side of the sea Until I laughed and headed home I learned my lesson never to roam

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
