Jawbox Motorist Lyrics

Motorist Lyrics

Taking division down to where I shouldn't be

Turn pockets run aground in the green

New way to see what's laid plain in front of me

Nothing better than a look at what I shouldn't see



When you examined the wreck, what did you see?

Glass everywhere and wheels still spinning free

When you examined the wreck, what did you see?

Glass everywhere and wheels still spinning free



Accidental, maybe

Restraints too frayed to withhold me

Remember, you told me

You will go where you're meant to be



This is my wreck, so let it be

Cracked gauges carry messages for me

Calls and responses, you can't see

Calls and responses, you can't see



I know you'd never grasp the possibilities

What would you risk to rescue me?

So turn your back, just drive on past

'Cause nothing is better than getting out fast



Taking division down to where I shouldn't be

Five blocks down in the middle of the green

No messages wash ashore with me

Glass shards reflecting light so I can see



I know you'd never grasp the possibilities

What would you risk to rescue me?
