lyrics

We floored it around the bend
8 cylinders working just as hard as they can
Oh and we thought that's the end
All of our equipment flying through the air of the van
Put holes in a sinking ship
It tried to keep going but it never made land
And the young kids, they thought we were hip
But really we were nothing more than a band

5 rounds in your magazine
You live life fast cause you love James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the dance are looking at you
With your coat and your checkered shoes
You work too hard cause you hate to loose
And there's something always missing that you don't know

The boat came around the bay
The letter inside said I had to go away
But the people I already knew here wanted me to stay
But the bombs come raining down
And the people I knew all had to leave town
And the ship captain said that we were all already dead and gone

5 rounds in your magazine
You live life fast cause you love James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the bar are looking at you
You got your hair and your checkered shoes
You work too hard cause you hate to loose
But there's something always missing that you don't know

Shaved your head when you were just 19
You wanted to be nice but they forced you to be mean
And the pretty girls at the bar are still staring at you
Your dad always plays the blues
You live in your own head so that you'll never hear the news
That the city was destroyed so long ago
You know it's true

4 rounds in your magazine
You lived life fast cause you loved James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the bar are no longer starin at you
Had your hair and your checkered shoes
You worked too hard but you're forced to loose
And there's something always missing you know it's true
