Go Fast and Live in Danger (Spoken Word with Music)
- last year
Partial Lyrics:
He was pulled over and all the bottles fell out
The cop shined a light directly in my eyes
And the judge ripped up my ticket and asked me if he was kind
In front of my father he tried to give me words that were wise
Don’t spend your time with this driver
Or get in his car while he’s changing his plugs
But I can barely hear him because he’s being shouted over
By the driver who says he’ll blow to show he’s not on drugs
Every girl he knew just how to change her
Every car he’d drive he’d just crash it
Every day he told me to go fast and live in danger
When I told him it was time to get out
He said let me give you a ride
He pulled the emergency brake and the car started to roll
I was looking around for exactly where we would collide
The gravel started spitting up and I was sure it was totalled
The phone started to ring and I told some falsehoods
I had to hide my location so I tried to open the door
He sped off before my foot hit the ground, spilling all my goods
Every girl he knew just how to change her
Every car he’d drive he’d just crash it
Every day he told me to go fast and live in danger
His girlfriend sped off directly to his house
I was forced to go with him as he started to follow
When he stopped he forgot to put it in park
So down the hill it went like a chimney swallow
I tried to grab at the wheel to steer it away
But the bumper crunched against the back of his lover
He just made fun of the sad songs I played
And laughed as out of his trunk he got out his cover
Every girl he knew just how to change her
Every car he’d drive he’d just crash it
Every day he told me to go fast and live in danger
She tapped my shoulder one day and told of how she was embarrassed
I grimaced because I felt of something in the middle
She told me he’d been seen with someone else as the passenger
And through the divider she had begun to fiddle
When I asked him about it he gave me too much detail
His parents were sent to their room upstairs
To make sure it was completely safe he’d used the couch
Because there was a pile of clothes on every one of the chairs
Every girl he knew just how to change her
Every car he’d drive he’d just crash it
Every day he told me to go fast and live in danger
The man on the sidewalk was screaming
And dragging his possessions on a mat behind
Security started following him because they’d been hired out to
When the women approached us she was politely declined
I rode with him in the truck to a failing bridge
At this point I looked and asked what is in this stuff
He wondered why people always asked him that
But this pill will help you rid you of your fluff
Every girl he knew just how to change her
Every car he’d drive he’d just crash it
Every day he told me to go fast and live in danger
I asked him what he thought of the shooting of his friend
I was a little puzzled when he said he knew the excuse
His girlfriend had run off and wasn’t wearing a helmet
For this he’d probably deserved the noose
He was pulled over and all the bottles fell out
The cop shined a light directly in my eyes
And the judge ripped up my ticket and asked me if he was kind
In front of my father he tried to give me words that were wise
Don’t spend your time with this driver
