White Lexus - Mike Doughty

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
