Getaway Car sing and play along
(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.)
It was the best of times,
the worst of crimes;
I struck a match and blew your mind.
But I didn't mean it,
and you didn't see it.
The ties were black the lies were white,
in shades of gray and candlelight.
I wanted to leave him;
I needed a reason.
'X' marks the spot where we fell apart.
He poisoned the well;
I was lying to myself.
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned we were cursed.
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark.
You were driving a getaway car.
We were flying, but we'd never get far.
Don't pretend it's such a mystery;
think about the place where you first met me:
riding in a getaway car.
There were sirens in the beat of your heart.
Should've known I'd be the first to leave;
think about the place where you first met me:
in a getaway car.
(Ah.) No, they never get far.
(Ah.)
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.
It was the great escape, the prison break;
the light of freedom on my face.
But you weren't thinking,
and I was just drinking.
Well, he was running after us;
I was screaming, "Go go go!"
But with three of us, honey,
it's a sideshow.
And the circus ain't a love story;
and now we're both sorry.
(We're both sorry.)
'X' getaway car.
We were jet set
Bonnie and Clyde, (Oh.)
until I switched to the other side,
to the other siiiiide.
It's no surprise I turned you in,
(Oh.) 'cause us traitors never win.
I'm in a getaway car.
I left you in the motel bar.
I put the money in a bag and I stole the keys.
That was the last time you ever saw me:
driving the getaway car.
We were flying, but we'd never get far.
(Don't pretend.)
Don't pretend it's such a mystery;
think about the place where you first met me:
riding in a getaway car.
There were sirens in the beat of your heart.
(Should have known.)
Should have known I'd be the first to leave;
think about the place where you first met me:
riding in a getfirst met me:
in a getaway car.
(Ah.) No, they never get far.
(Ah.)
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.
I was riding in a getaway car.
I was crying in a getaway car,
I was dying in a getaway car,
said, "goodbye" in a getaway car.
Riding in a getaway car.
I was crying in a getaway car.
I was dying in a getaway car,
said, "goodbye" in a getaway
car.
