There was blood on my hands and hair on my cheeks, |
|
i hadn't got a shave in 25 weeks. |
|
i cracked the window open, i had a handgun in the backseat, |
|
you were going 65 on a waterfront street. |
|
and i knew that i could trust you to give me a ride |
|
like the ocean trusts the moon to give it a tide. |
|
and you said "i saw someone being killed once when i was 14" |
|
and i said "you don't know where i been." |
|
you were staying up heading south, we were looking for food. |
|
there was a song stuck in your head and it wasn't very good. |
|
the chorus was lame it went like "lovers are waterproof." |
|
i was tearing at the palm trees through sunroof. |
|
and though the gas was expensive here in california |
|
you had been driving me on in to the morning on yuh. |
|
and you said "leave your past behind you and it will all 'come clean" |
|
and i said "you don't know where i've been." |
|
then you remembered your trunk it was loaded with beer. |
|
you parked the car and said "david let's have one one the pier." |
|
you stepped onto the sand with no shoes on your feet. |
|
i was hungry as hell and said that i needed to eat something more |
|
than peanut butter on toast |
|
and that the sunrise looked better on the east coast. |
|
and you said "well david my friend you're being grumpy and mean," |
|
and i said "you don't know where i've been." david. |
|
there was a plane taking off and another plane landing. |
|
there was a sign that read breakfast by the side of a building. |
|
you said "a plane is nothing if you compare it to a pelican" |
|
and i was hoping that the diner sort of place could be mexican. |
|
then i would get a breakfast burrito and speak a little spanish, |
|
you said "a bird is silent and it sure can fish" |
|
and inside they were showing my face up on a tv screen |
|
and i said "you don't know where i've been." |
|
then you said "get rid of your beard and no one will notice" |
|
and i said "baby, no one here is going to call the police. |
|
you see the owner looks nice and the waitress she's pretty. |
|
to take any of them down would be a freaking pity." |
|
and you said "you scared the shit out of me, you're going too far, |
|
you didn't want me before hopping into my car" |
|
and then i said "well baby you might be |
|
the most beautiful woman i've seen |
|
but you don't know where i've been. |
|
well you might be the most beautiful woman i've seen |
|
but you don't know where i've been." |
