Cash Cab - Speedy Ortiz

As up above, then so below

Who pays?

Rat king of the ward

Fell slack on the course

Then silvered away

What does he retain?

He can’t remember a thing, fleeing the chalk of his mess

All of the smart ones repress

They get amnesia

And now I wanna forget

I loved someone who left me for dead

What a night to forget

Only an empty head says, «I wanna be with somebody.»

It went below

And as I foretold

You’ll pay

How wisely he roars

The chariot lord

Dragged every which way

Tell me, what do you retain?

You can’t remember a thing

Torn between too many heads

All of the bad ones repress

They get amnesia

And now I wanna forget

I loved someone who left me for dead

I want amnesia just to please you again

Here goes another empty threat:

I wanna be with somebody just like me

Someone who laughs at a crashed car rental

Someone who hurts in an accident

Someone as scared of abandonment

And all I’ll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts

And all I’ll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts

I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me

I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me

I’ll do all this when you pay me
