Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was me, drove off the off-ramp Of the sweetheart highway It was me, I admit I had the map This is what I gotta say [Chorus] We're in Bummed Out City That's what the sign says I plead your mercy and your pity Is not life a mirror maze? [Verse 2] The hardware store is never open Until the quarter of the moon Let's leave town before the rodeo Rides in with the typhoon [Chorus] We're in Bummed Out City So come on, let's operate Let's open a disc brake parlor No, it never is too late [Post-Chorus] Before you know it, you'll be in Bummed Out City In a cloud of dust and rust And all the dogs biting on your exhaust pipe Even they gonna show you trust [Verse 3] And it was me, drove off the off-ramp Of the sweetheart highway It was me, I admit I had the map This is what I gotta say [Chorus] We're in Bummed Out City That's what the sign says I plead your mercy and your pity Is not life a mirror maze? We're in Bummed Out City That's what the sign says I plead your mercy and your pity Is not life a mirror maze? We're in Bummed Out City That's what the sign says I plead your mercy and your pity Is not life a mirror maze? [Outro] We're in Bummed Out City I plead your mercy and your pity Is not life a mirror maze?
