Lyrics

Shelly hit a deer
Off the interstate
Her headlights glistening off its wide eyes
As they held each others gaze
Frozen and still in time
Easy now
Cause' there ain't another way while the cars broke down
It's bones did bloom
While she sampled gas station perfume
She Said "The easy way, aint the only way
But I'm running out of reasons to try"
Oh well I'll, keep my head down for another night
Its not my life
Pulled into the yard
Guided in by the sweating manager
Who through rotten teeth, smiled and said
She'd killed Bambi
Grandchildren called
They heard she'd gone vegetarian
Their father had taught them how to skin roadkill
Maybe he could teach her too
Easy now
Cause' there ain't another way while the cars broke down
It's bones did bloom
While she sampled gas station perfume
She Said "The easy way, aint the only way
But I'm running out of reasons to try"
Oh well I'll, keep my head down for another night
Its not my life
Fill your jerry cans
With diesel
Fill your pockets full
With matches
For the only option now my dear
Is to set yourself alight
Be the candle in the night
Against those heathens
Cause' it never made sense
And it truly never will
And to try and understand it
Is maddening
So while im smiling through it all
I watch the bodies fall
While I'm pulling out my teeth with tweezers
Easy now
Cause' there ain't another way while the cars broke down
It's bones did bloom
While she sampled gas station perfume
She Said "The easy way, aint the only way
But I'm running out of reasons to try"
Oh well I'll, keep my head down for another night
Its not my life
