Paroles de Multitude Of Casualties

She drove it like she stole it

She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties

She said i shipped it out from Boulder
Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets

We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma

High as hell and shivering and smashed

We were trying for a vision quest we opened up three buttons

And all we saw was desert trash

It's a funny bit of chemistry

How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler

It's worth noting throughout history

Kids come around corners to a multitude of casualties

We spent a few hours circling the city
At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time

After your party we got off the grid

We just couldn't get with all the clever kids

Now we forage on the frontage roads

We drive at nites I guess it just feels somewhat safer

We scrounge around for sustenance

We mostly eat in the back half of the theaters

We spent a few years nodding off in matinees

High as hell and shivering and smashed

We were hoping for an action adventure

Something loud that we could feel thru all the Feminax

After the movie we got off the ground

Got in your car and crawled around in Lowertown

While she was at the citadel he was getting high as hell

While he came to in the matinee she was asking round for someplace else to stay

While he was down in Lowertown she was feeling out the 5:30 folk mass

And the nite that she got born again he was getting with her little hoodrat friend

They did wade in the water into one tin soldier and she started to cry

Youth services always finds a way to get their bloody cross into your druggy little messed up teenage life
