the day that we   took out a car in the rain   is the day you forgot how to   brake and see   how quickly the picture will change   filled with fingers and voices and teeth   i still remember holding my hand   against your face just before it was sprayed   across the radio   as it played      and you and me   are still but the scenery moves   well why would it stop just 'cause   suddenly   there's one where there used to be two   and everything's quiet but yo   looks like the speaker lived through the blow   still playing some compilation you made   feels like a lifetime sitting alone   so i start humming along to the tape      i always liked this singer   i remember how you were the one who told me that her name   was either mia   or m.i.a.      and i am thinking   how many hours till i'm home   how long do i stay in this place   who's going to wash all the blood from my clothes   who's gonna cancel my date   who's gonna cancel my date      and i think   i always liked this singer   i remember how you were the one who told me that her name   was either mia      and i think   i always liked this singer   i remember how you were the one who told me that her name   was either mia   or m.i.a.      and the day that we   took out a car in the wet   i thought to myself that the sky was blue   as i've ever seen it but yet   still tinted with red
