Lyrics
Well, it would've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio Oh, it should've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know Well, you told me about nowhere Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go Oh, it could've been, should've been Worse than you would ever know Well, the windshield was broken, but I love the fresh air y'know (The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) Oh, it would've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know, oh (The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh Now here we go Oh, It would've been, could've been Worse than it had even gone Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want (It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good) Why should we ever even, ever really even get to know (It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good) Oh, if the world don't like us It'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old Now here we go Well we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon Every dawn you're surprising And the evening was consoling saying "See it wasn't quite as, bad as" Well, it would've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes After you had proved my point wrong It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show Yeah, it would've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know. Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio. (The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good) Hard-wired to conceive so much we'd have to stow it Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show (The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio) Oh, we could've been, should've been Worse than you would ever know. (The dashboard melted but we still have the radio) Well, you told me about nowhere Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh Now here we go Well we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon Every dawn you're surprising And the evening was consoling saying "See it wasn't quite as, bad as" Oh, it would've been, could've been Worse than you would ever know
