Car Keys

Get me back the car keys
Go in my back pocket
And rob the quick one
(Sit a spell and)
Come and get me sharply
Give it a once over
And ready the weapon
With a ringer in the hand
And one stuck up in a bush
(Get me)
Come and get me softly
Enter the right chamber
Sap in a rush
Wrinkled papers on the sidewalk
Mess when they blow over
Fault of no one
And how are we doin' now?
How are we doin' now?
How are we doin' now?
How are we doin' now?
How are we gonna know?
How are we gonna know?
How are we gonna know?
How are we gonna know?
A hole in the ground
And the minutes can't make up their mind
And on a holy ground
Just how long they'd like to be
A show of gratitude
And the hours are wondering
And on your way
Why are we in such a rush?
Go and hold me tightly
Give me the once over
Ready the weapon
A hole in the ground
And the minutes can't make up their mind
And on a holy ground
Just how long they'd like to be
A show of gratitude
And the hours are wondering
And on your way
Why are we in such a rush?
A hole in the ground
And the bluest mood isn't blue
And on a holy ground
Did you ever meet your dark side?
A show of gratitude
And raincoats are retiring
And on your way
Even they need kinds of Sun
