The air
Escaping from your mouth
The hair

Escaping from your nose
My heart
Escaping from the scraping

And the shaping
Of the draping...
I'm awaking


In a T-shirt
In a Chevy

At a beach
And I'm freezing
And I'm wheezing

And I know
You were only teasing
Then I hit you

And I beat you
And told you
That I love you

In my car
In a jar


The air
Escaping from your pits
The hair

Escaping from my teeth
My hands
Are gripping

But they're slipping
And they're dripping
'Cause I'm tripping

I got busted
Coming through customs
With a suitcase

Full of tapes
It was special
Tape recording

And they grabbed me
While I was boarding
Then they hit me

And they beat me
And they told me
They don't like me

And I crashed
In my Nash
We can crash

In my Nash
etc.
