The Residents

The Car Thief

The Residents


I once
I once
I once
Was part of you

You hoped that the
Hands choking me
Had broken me apart

Now I don't
Now I don't
Now I don't
Believe in you

Could be
Could be
Could be that leaving you
Is overdue

My open end
Your only friend
Was always in the dark
'til I took a shoe
That belonged to you
Then took a torch to your new car

I can't
I can't
I can't
Be black and blue

And now that car
Looks like a star
That's fallen far from the dark

And as my pain
Turns into flames
No one blames my heart
