Grand Marquis

Fall asleep in the backseat
Of your mother’s car
I don’t care where you take me
The red of the tail lights trailing through the dark
Lie to me and tell me I’m safe
You can never protect me that way
Take off our shoes and walk across the concrete
Out past the lights of the big university
Every word I say for you is empty
On the drive home
On the drive home
My head feels so numb and heavy
On the drive home
On the drive home
Fall asleep in the backseat
Of your mother’s car
I don’t care where you take me
The red of the tail lights trailing through the dark
