Cars and History - Strays Don't Sleep

I think I’m happy now

At least from time to time

I had to let it go

I had to let it slip

Funny how it all works out

When you’re given up on it

Rooftops and stars above

The smell of cold, dead leaves

Our skin was all in knots

You were moving under me

Cars and history turn to rust

Cars and history turn to rust

Cars and history turn to rust

Cars and history turn to rust

December 31st

Come a little closer girl

It’s time to rise and shine

I had to let it go

We had to let it slip

Funny how it all works out

When you’ve given up on it

Rooftops and stars above

(cold war is gone)

The smell of cold, dead leaves

Our skin was all in knots

(cold war is over, dear)

You were moving under me

Cars and history turn to rust

(satellites, dirty bombs and fear)

Cars and history turn to rust

Cars and history turn to rust

Cars and history turn to rust

I want you

Oh, I want you

December 31st --this frozen hand

11: 59 --has turned to rain

Come a little closer girl --it's dark again

It’s time to rise and shine --it goes that way

I had to let it go --it's on the prowl

We had to let it slip --it's latest junk

Funny how it all works out --teeth broken shells

When you’ve given up on it --to be someone

Rooftops and stars above --this little tick

(cold war is gone)

The smell of cold, dead leaves --up every night

(cold war is over, dead)

Our skin was all in knots --the only war

You were moving under me --we televise

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

(satellites, dirty bombs and fear)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Cars and history turn to rust --those little lies

Cars and history turn to rust

I want you

Oh, I want you

Cars and history turn to rust --those little lies

(cold war is gone)

Cars and history turn to rust --those little lies

(cold war is over, dear)

Cars and history turn to rust --those little lies

(satellites, dirty bombs and fear)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Who will win?

(cold war is gone)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Who will win?

(cold war is over dear)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Who will win?

(satellites, dirty bombs and fear)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Who will win?

(cold war is gone)

Cars and history turn to rust --we televise

Who will win?

(cold war is over, dear)

Cars and history turn to rust --those little lies

Who will win?

(satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
