Race Cars

Butch Walker

I see him look at you and speak with such

eloquence, all I can do is rhyme eloquence

with presedence. it's the only word I think

about, when you're his and not mine...

(so unkind, so unkind)

and it gets so annoying like a chick

magazine with 17 subscription cards shoved

in between, they fall past my seat

and they land at my feet,

right next to my pride, now can you beat that?



and what can i say i come from race cars and

gothrock? and what can you do you're just California gridlock

I'm a broken down camaro

over heated but you'll never know you're the

one that caused this crash.



7 days passed since your last break up note

with it's shaky and scribbled out, started over

broken words

that you wrote you know having what you

needed wasn't good enough for you, never do,

never do

and now you're in his house thats the size

of a mall i've never seen a grand piano look

so fuckin small

you know probably one of many things that are small about him too



and what can I say I come from racecars and

punk rock and what can you do you're just

California gridlock

i'm a broken down camaro

over heated but you'll never know you're the

one that caused this crash.



can we just try to forget that we were ever

very different cause the tattoo on your

shoulder baby tells me that ain't true,

but I like that in you, so quit tryin'

to prove yourself and wake up and

lose yourself in me



and what can I say I come from racecars and

cock rock and what can you do you're just

California gridlock

i'm a broken down camaro

over heated but you'll never know you're the

one that caused this crash



and what can I say I come from racecars and

pop rocks and what can you do you're just

California gridlock

i'm a broken down camaro

over heated but you'll never know you're the

one that caused this crash
