Burned Out Car

[Verse - Tom Wilson]

Live out of a suitcase in the back

Wash in the restrooms at the Shell

Get my meals at the Taco Bell

Eat in parking lots from a paper sack

Duck out of the windows and out of sight

The cops come by and shine their lights

The dealers are fighting in the night

I hug my sleeping bag real tight

[Chorus - Tom Wilson and Sarah McLachlan]

I live in a car that doesn't go nowhere

It's one small step to a shopping cart

In a twilight world that has no heart

I watch the sun go down from a burned out car

[Verse - Tom Wilson]

I'd be in movies but they don't give leads

To any people who look like me

Got a layer of funk from the ozone cloud

When the sun goes down I just hide out

[Chorus - Tom Wilson and Sarah McLachlan]

I live in a car that doesn't go nowhere

It's one small step to a shopping cart

In a twilight world that has no heart

I watch the sun go down from a burned out car

[Verse - Tom Wilson and Sarah McLachlan]

I wish that I could get relief

I wish that I could fix my teeth

I wish that I could wash my clothes

I wish I had someplace to go

[Chorus - Tom Wilson and Sarah McLachlan]

I live in a car that doesn't go nowhere

It's one small step to a shopping cart

In a twilight world that has no heart

I watch the sun go down from a burned out car

I watch the sun go down from a burned out car
