Xiu Xiu - Fast Car lyrics

You've got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove You've got a fast car I've got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at East Side's Health and Children's Centre I've managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living You see my old man's got a problem He lives with his prescription d** and that's the way it is His body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give Somebody's got to take care of him So I quit life and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving Driving in your car The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk The city lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone Be someone You got a fast car We go cruising to entertain ourselves You still don't have a job And I work in the market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs I remember we were driving Driving in your car The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk The city lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone Be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out late drinking at the bar You see your friends more than you do your kids I'd always hoped for better Maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving I remember we were driving Driving in your car The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk The city lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone Be someone Be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
