The sun came down like a fever   Lit up the receiver   When the cars and cycles passed   I picked all of my things up and set out to meet up   Night was strung-out on display in front of the driveway   We had no other choice   She was making decisions on making incisions      She waited 'till they were sleeping   Went in for the key ring   And the maps and medicine   She swallowed a handful as we hit the gravel      And we set off like a fire alarm   On a one-way armed with broken arms   And an old life you can tear apart   When you're running away   And it's a lost cause   But it's all we got   As we move on like a spinning top   You've got to swear you'll never slow it down if I wanna stop   Tell me that my heart is beaten black   Nothing gets me started quite like that      Heading into the blackness   My head spinning faster   Than the tires on the road   She had friends in the next state   I got lost in the airwaves   They were all dilated when we finally made it   With maps and medicine   She was getting directions or making connections      So we cut out like a broken beer   Now your hometown looks so insincere   As it shines off of your rear view mirror   When you're running away   And it's a lost cause but it's all we got   As we move on like a spinning top   You've got to swear you'll never slow it down if I wanna stop   Tell me that my heart is beaten black   Nothing gets me started quite like that      And we set off like a fire alarm   On a one-way armed with broken arms   And an old life you can tear apart   When you're running away   And it's a lost cause   But it's all we got   As we move on like a spinning top   You've got to swear you'll never slow it down if I wanna stop   Tell me that my heart is beaten black   Nothing gets me started quite like that   Tell me that my heart is beaten black   Nothing gets me started quite like that
