GETAWAY CAR

(CN.C.)(No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car.) It was the best of times, the worst of crimes; I (G)struck a match and blew your mind.

I need ed a rea son.

‘X’ marks the spot where we fell a part.

He poi soned the well; I was ly ing to my self.

I knew it from the first Old Fash ioned we were cursed.

We (F)nev er had a shot gun shot in the dark.

You were driv ing a get a way car.

We were fly ing, but we’d nev er get far.

Don’t pre tend it’s such a mys ter y; think a bout the place where you first met me: rid ing in a get a way car.

There were si rens in the beat of your heart.

Should ’ve known I’d be the first to leave; think a bout the place where you first met me:

No, they nev er get far.

(Ah.)

No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car.
