Car
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You get the car
I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out howit works
Don't let me know what you find out
I need a car
You need a guide
Who needs a map
If I don't die or worse I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back
I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moonsare all about
I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly getsmaller
I wanna see it now
I want specifics on the general idea
I wanna think what I should know
Want you to do me what to show
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desertafternoon
I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now
