The car was finally slowing down
I was in the passenger seat
Dead flowers by the side of the road
And strangers aligned
They put me in a hotel room
I sensed I was the only one
A phone was ringing constantly
FLASHING SMOKE ALARMS!
Somebody please shut down all the lights
Pay my dues, erase my past
And take from me everything I have
They were all by the fire now
And poisoned me with bitterness
I couldn't sleep for a long time after that
All worn out
This is my final day a vile storm is rushing in
Rain on my face the window is open wide
And the car is finally slowing down
And the car is finally slowing down
This car is finally slowing down
This car is finally slowing down
You know I've shut down all the lights
Paid my dues, erased my past
Washed my hands of everything
You know I've shut down all the lights
Paid my dues, erased my past
And one day when the time is right
This will all make perfect sense
