Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck Lyrics

Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck lyrics

Those tire tracks 

zigzag your torso like a Devil's self portrait. 

The car accident, the skin graft treatment, the flower baskets, 

the wincing relatives... 



you bid her farewell then you got in your car 

and that's the last thing that you can recall. 

and when they pulled you out 

you didn't know your name 

exploding semi truck blurred your face with flame... 



you met Jane four years ago today 

dancing at some vomit-stained frat party. 

Her newspaper gown, glowing headline brown, her violent gypsy dance, 

her tired underpants... 



Love (x12) 

rhymes with pity now 

Love (x12) 

rhymes with sympathy now 



Jane let you touch and feel her 

she was so free like a pineapple in a tree 

You said it's dangerous 

to be so intimate 

You know it's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. 



Jane said when she laid on her back 

the sun hit her body like an ugly landscape. 



But some things never get better 

like used cars and bad livers. 

So you traded her in for a better looking brand. 

One with fake porno tits 

a pad lock on her lips 

disposable tan 

biodegradable hands. 



Back at the hospital 

you got no visitors at all. 

She visits you in your sleep, 

but that newspaper gown is always on fire (x2) 



She met him a week after you left her 

when you tossed out her touch to the garbage collector. 

He talked her out of her skirt in his beer-soaked apartment 

and then they did all the things 

you never said that you wanted. 

And the sirens are laughing underneath your skull. 

And your thoughts are turning dull, callous and cold. 

Yesterday you gave your burden a name. 

Yesterday you gave your burden a face. 



But your burden looks an awful lot like her. 



Love (x12) 

rhymes with pity now 

Love (x12) 

rhymes with sympathy now
