lyrics

Sitting on the overpass,
watching the lights change.
The cars go on and on and on.

A woman sits to join me
and she passes me a match.

She says
'I could die tomorrow
and it wouldn't change a thing.
So why wait 'till tomorrow
to do what one could do today?'

Hey hey hey.

We emptied out her wallet,
let the wind carry away
the cards, coupons, little things.

We called her bank,
told them what she thought
of her outstanding debt.

'You stupid motherfuckers
won't ever see a goddamn cent.
You know I'm tired of the hassle
and I'm sure you can do the rest.'

Yeah yeah yeah.

I lit the match
she handed me her birth certificate.
It curled, smoldered to waste.

We stood,
she put her hand to my chest and started to cry,
you know her hair turned grey
to match her eyes.

And she said,
she said,
she said-

She asked
'Why's it hurt so much
to get out of bed sometimes?’

‘Why do people scare me so much
I can't ever go outside?'

I said
'if I knew the answer
well it might just make me rich,
if I didn’t spend every dollar I had
trying to reach you,
to lift us up out of this.’

'We are fresh out of the womb,
first to wake from sleep.
Something got in us too early
now it's too late to repeat,

but we can keep each other company.'
