Multitude Of Casualties

She drove it like she stole it She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties She said I shipped it out from Boulder Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma High as hell and shivering and smashed We were trying for a vision quest We opened up three buttons And all we saw was desert trash It's a funny bit of chemistry How a cool car makes a guy seem that much cooler And it's worth noting that throughout history Kids come around the corner to a multitude of casualties We spent a few hours circling the city Like a hawk out on the highways We were looking around for something that just died We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy At least in dying you don't have to deal with New Wave for a second time And after your party we got off the grid Oh we just couldn't get with all those clever kids And now we forage on the frontage roads We drive at nights I guess it just feels somewhat safer Yeah, we scrounge around for sustenance We mostly eat it in the back half of the theaters We spent a few years nodding off in matinees We were high as hell and shivering and smashed Yeah, we were hoping for an action adventure Or something loud that we could feel through all the Feminax And after the movie We got off the ground I got in your car Crawled around in Lowertown While she was at The Citadel He was getting high as hell When she came to in the matinee She was asking 'round for someplace else to stay While he was down in Lowertown She was feeling out the 5:30 folk mass And the night that she got born again He was getting with her little hoodrat friend They did "Wade Into The Water" into "One Tin Soldier" She started to cry Yeah, youth services always find a way To get their bloody cross Into your druggy little messed up teenage life
