Pedal Down

Has it kicked in yet? The guy who sold it said you'll start to sweat Your stomach churns like you've gotta confess Grab the last of it, the sun just set Keep the windshield clear All the shaking makes it hard to steer Getting jumpy like an auctioneer Am I the headlights, or am I the deer? We told our half-truths to the neighbors Tried not to look them in the eye We headed out when the sun went down Driving north on 95 We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down Keep the pedal down Has it sunk in yet? When you see it, you can't forget There's a window while the concrete's wet It's kinda looking like the footprint's set We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down They say you'll make such good parents It sounds like old-fashioned fun Fall in love by the iPhone light One each, a daughter and a son But we lead our lambs to slaughter It's profit, boot straps, and guns Every god needs a sacrifice Honey, what have we done? What the fuck have we done? Is anyone out there? Is this thing on? The temple is sacked and the healers are gone You'll turn into a pillar of salt if you dare turn around Is anyone out there? Is this thing on? The temple is sacked and the healers are gone You'll turn into a pillar of salt if you dare turn around Don't you dare turn around We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down We can grieve it later Keep the pedal down Keep the pedal down Keep the pedal down Keep the pedal down Keep the pedal down
