Please show me how to live
Please show me how to have a day
I don?t wanna wake up now
Why do I have to wake up, anyway?
Like a soap star in anguish, shrill but bland
When your white Lexus comes
Around the way idling in the long driveway
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
I forgive the world right now
Still I play the chump?s role every time
My world?s the surface of the moon
My heart?s down in a diamond mine
Like the black stars of Memphis, moaning on
When your white Lexus comes to drive me out
Drive me to the edge of town
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
Damn it to the last damned man
When your white Lexus comes
When your white Lexus comes
When your white Lexus comes
Please show me how to have a day
I don?t wanna wake up now
Why do I have to wake up, anyway?
Like a soap star in anguish, shrill but bland
When your white Lexus comes
Around the way idling in the long driveway
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
I forgive the world right now
Still I play the chump?s role every time
My world?s the surface of the moon
My heart?s down in a diamond mine
Like the black stars of Memphis, moaning on
When your white Lexus comes to drive me out
Drive me to the edge of town
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
Damn it to the last damned man
When your white Lexus comes
When your white Lexus comes
When your white Lexus comes
