Cars Not Leaving

VERSE 1

There's a game that's always played
And always won by fools
But everyone I know
Would rather never play than lose

There's a place where the innocent stand
Proud before the firing squad
There's a church at the end of the path
Where the sound meets beware of the God

There's you in the alley
There's me walking away
Those three words still hang in the air
I swore I would never say

CHORUS: (x2)

So hold on now, just hold on a minute
This car's not leaving if you're not in it
You've no idea how lucky we are
A wound that deep would normally scar

VERSE 2

I heard there was a place where the light
Managed to cut through the dark
But that was just a story for children
And my chest is just a grave for my heart

There's a phone that's always ringin'
Answer, and a child will say
I'd rather take my own life
Than give it away

And as you wander the west-way
For to hide from the rain
And I'm taking your picture
To be sure that I'll see you again

CHORUS (x2)

And I see willows holding hands,
Hurt birds singing harmony,
The bodies of water's caressed by land
And the river's mouth is kissing the sea (all right!)

CHORUS (x2)
