Engine

[Verse 1] Paid with the union, drywall in your hair Lights in the back rooms, the swelling of stairs Smoke to the ceiling, bricks on the street Glass on the side walk, a gross kind of need Sweat in your palms, hair in your face Feet that keep running, fists that stay made Weeds in the garden, masks in the chains You're proud and stubborn, you're dumb and enraged [Chorus] I get choked up sometimes on the rides home I get lonely sometimes on the rides home I feel guilty sometimes on the rides home I feel silly sometimes on the rides home [Post-Chorus] Where should i go? Where should we go? Where should we go? [Verse 2] Done with the office, done with the chair Sick of time tables, perfume in the air Caught in the leash, died for the dream That constant ticking, ignore all feeling Tight in the chest, just blending in Die for the week, live for the weekend Cooler of beer, traffic that sneers What are we doing? Tell me, my peers [Chorus] I get choked up sometimes on the rides home I get lonely sometimes on the rides home I feel guilty sometimes on the rides home I feel silly sometimes on the rides home (I get choked up sometimes on the rides home) (I get lonely sometimes on the rides home) (I feel guilty sometimes on the rides home) (I feel silly sometimes on the rides home) [Bridge] Now that you're a pile of dust in a wall I visit on long weekends and when I can I stare at the names and all the flowers around And tell myself I've done what I planned And I get choked up on the rides home And I get lonely on the rides home And I feel guilty on the rides home [Verse 3] Engine of destruction, rush hour glare Tight and congested, dirt in the air Contentious objector, stuck in a line For peace of mind, with interest to pay I ran away from all of my options Left you alone to deal with my problems Didn't come back till it was too late Now I'm still stuck here, finally changed [Chorus] I get choked up sometimes on the rides home I get lonely sometimes on the rides home I feel guilty sometimes on the rides home I feel silly sometimes on the rides home
