American Taxi - Shake, Rattle and Stall lyrics

We're living in her dad's car

Been high for days

We look between the seats

We sit and shake

I close my eyes it just won't go away

Yeah we've been high for days

She kicked me off

At the drugstore where I bought

The last pack with the money that I brought

She said she's leaving to someplace I'm not

Someplace I'm not

She headed north on Penn to score

She's gonna stay and do some more

These avenues are the dying proof

They fucking don't make these nights like they used to

You can come home anytime you want

But I'm sick and I'm thinking about you

I'm sick of thinking about you

It's been several weeks now

The family's getting pissed

Her brothers found me

Lyndale and 26th

I said "I'm sorry boys, it ain't me she's with"

No it ain't me she's with

I told them she'd been dying for a shot

Now she's in some courtroom tying some knot

They took me out back

To show me what they thought

To show me what they thought

Beat up in Loon's parking lot

I got a ride home from the cop

These avenues are the dying proof

They fucking don't make these nights like they used to

You can come home anytime you want

But I'm sick and I'm thinking about you

I'm sick of thinking about you

I'm at the Mousetrap in Georgia

I'm in the 404

They put lipstick on our T-shirts

They took our cash at the door

It was the 10:40 train home

It was the 3rd of July

Somebody's drink hit some passenger

They kicked us off in Riverside

I see it everywhere I see it everywhere now

I see it everywhere I see it everywhere now

I see her everywhere I see her everywhere now

I see her everywhere I see her everywhere now

These avenues are the dying proof

They fucking don't make these nights like they used to

You can come home baby if you want

But I'm sick and I'm thinking about you

I'm sick of thinking about you

I'm sick of thinking about you
