Black Buick from SKULLS by The Light Switches

I know it’s dumb but I’ll never admit it that movie made me cry
I don’t know if you’re still listening but I’ll try and tell you why
you and I’ve both been to prison and I suppose we both broke the law
but the only time I’ve ever been sorry I never did get caught
We sat outside in the frozen old forest like outlaws often do
without one word I heard your story and now I know that it’s true

I shivered and said we’re young and reckless and then one day we’re not
You said when I am cold and breathless somewhere the sun is hot
It’s foolish to seek out recognition for any of the work that you do
When i was young I didn’t believe you now I know it’s true

One summer night you were supposed to be working as the moon was rising high
Our friends and i were at Oregon Ridge drinking staring at the sky
We heard the sound of a roaring engine we got scared and prepared to escape
but the ride that arrived bore us no evil and the driver was hiding his face
with a crazy skull mask that made us all laugh and everyone asked how you knew
I know it’s dumb but i’ll never admit it and now you know it’s true
