Burned Out Car Lyrics


Junkhouse 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
