Multitude of Casualties

She drove it like she stole it

She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties

She said I shipped it out from Boulder

Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets

We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma

High as hell and shivering and smashed

We were trying for a vision quest

We opened up three buttons and all we saw was desert trash

It's a funny bit of chemistry

How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler

And it's worth noting that throughout history

Kids come around the corner to a multitude of casualties

We spent a few hours circling the city

Like a hawk out on the highways we were looking around for something that just died

We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy

At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time

And after your party

We got off the grid

We just couldn't get with all those clever kids

And now we forage on the frontage roads

We drive at night, I guess it just feels somewhat safer

Yeah, we scrounge around for sustenance

We mostly eat it in the back half of the theaters

We spent a few years nodding off in matinees

We were high as hell and shivering and smashed

Yeah, we were hoping for an action adventure

Or something loud that we could feel through all the Feminax

And after the movie

We got off the ground

Got in your car and crawled around in Lowertown

Yeah, while she was at the citadel he was getting high as hell

When she came to in the matinee she was asking around for some place else to stay

While he was down in Lowertown she was feeling out the 5: 30 folk mass

And the night she got born again, he was getting with her little hoodrat friend

They did the wade into the water, into one tin soldier

She started to cry

Yeah, youth services always find a way

To get their bloody cross into your druggy little messed up teenage life
