Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck - The Blood Brothers

Those tire tracks

Zigzag your torso like a Devil’s self portrait

The car accident, the skin graft treatment

The flower baskets, the wincing relatives

You bid her farewell then got in your car

And that’s the last thing that you can recall

And when they pulled you out

You didn’t know your name

Exploding semi truck blurred your face with flame

You met Jane four years ago today

Dancing at some vomit-stained frat party

Her newspaper gown, glowing headline brown

Her violent gypsy dance, her tired underpants

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Rhymes with pity now

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Rhymes with sympathy now

Jane let you touch and feel her

She was so free like a pineapple in a tree

You said it’s dangerous

To be so intimate

You know it’s dangerous, dangerous, dangerous

Jane said when she laid on her back

The sun hit her body like an ugly landscape

But some things never get better

Like used cars and bad livers

So you traded her in for a better looking brand

One with fake porno tits

A padlock on her lips

Disposable tan, biodegradable hands

Back at the hospital

You got no visitors at all

She visits you in your sleep

But that newspaper gown is always on fire

She met him a week after you left her

When you tossed out her touch to the garbage collector

He talked her out of her skirt in his beer-soaked apartment

And then they did all the things

You never said that you wanted

And the sirens are laughing underneath your skull

And your thoughts are turning dull, callous and cold

Yesterday you gave your burden a name

Yesterday you gave your burden a face

But your burden looks an awful lot like her

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Rhymes with pity now

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Rhymes with sympathy now
