lyrics

The cars on the canvas are headed to space
you put my hand on your heart when you look at the dust and the remains
spitting out gas in the atmosphere
you choke out a few words and say
I wanna see a star disappear

when it comes to mischief
your vase breaks your voice cracks
and your caught talking to the plants
your drinks are sour
in the east wing tower
where we pick the lock and start a revolution
my darling I conclude that I like you

the boats on the canvas follow the cars
through the smooth disposition of the captain in charge
I hope this junker has enough to keep up the pace
and squeeze out a few more miles
before we're drained and useless

when it comes to mischief
your vase breaks your voice cracks
and your caught talking to the plants
your drinks are sour
in the east wing tower
where we pick the lock and start a revolution
my darling I conclude that I like you

Oh no there go the breaks
we spin and get gobbled by shame
I hold you so close
while the atmosphere confines us
to the stormy skies on the wings of a broken butterfly
oh what a vicious way for our beauty to survive

cars on the canvas have headed to space
they leave us behind in the dust and the remains
so we sift through the vines for the ripest of grapes
that we use to make wine and fuel our escape
