Southbound, crickets out on a cold
You sure do cross my mind
I remember the time we fell asleep on the train
And we woke up at Coney Island
But lately, I've been feeling out of breath
Like a worn-out record scratched to death
So we just that fence, put the car in drive
Now we're broke, young, and empty on the 405
Headed for the border but we don't know why
And it's a quarter to nine in your blue sundress
You said your daddy, he's a bastard and your mom is a mess
Spray paint on our fingers and a kick drum in our chests
I'm under arrest
Sundown headed out to the shoreline
You got a job downtown
And I've been asking around
But I keep having this dream
That I'm flying over Coney Island
What if I'm not cut out for this?
What if I'm to blame?
What if one day you see me, but forget my name?
So we just that fence, put the car in drive
Now we're broke, young, and empty on the 405
Headed for the border but we don't know why
And it's a quarter to nine in your blue sundress
You said your daddy, he's a bastard and your mom is a mess
Spray paint on our fingers and a kick drum in our chests
I'm under arrest
How can you tell when you're being yourself?
I don't know?
So we just that fence, put the car in drive
Now we're broke, young, and empty on the 405
Headed for the border but we don't know why
And it's a quarter to nine in your blue sundress
You said your daddy, he's a bastard and your mom is a mess
Spray paint on our fingers and a kick drum in our chests
I'm under arrest
