Boy on the Bus

Lyrics

Boy on the bus with a startled face Delicate hands at the difficult age Clutching so hard at a plastic bag A masterpiece in bone and rag Inaminate ghosts on the 46 The wizened trees look like pick-up sticks Everybody said she's a generous girl Now they're pulling up her body from the black canal Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back You just say the word, the word I won't say no I don't know, but I've noticed you Ain't been walking that way with our boy, it's true Everywhere you look it's a burial ground Every swirling eddy where your dreams get drowned They get drowned Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back You just say the word, the word, the word The word– Word– Word– Sweet defeat, I wanna leave the city so bad Dog tired on my feet, I wanna leave the city so bad All the lonely streets, I wanna leave the city so bad Dog tired on my feet, on my feet, I wanna leave, I wanna leave, I wanna leave and Take everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back Never look back, everything we own, turn the lights off and go and never look back You just say the word, the word You just say the word, the word I won't say no Boy on the bus, boy on the bus, boy on the bus I won't say no
