"Pedal Down" lyrics

"Pedal Down"

Has it kicked in yet?
The guy who sold it said you'll start to sweat
Your stomach churns like you've gotta confess
Grab the last of it the sun just set

Keep the windshield clear
All the shaking makes it hard to steer
Getting jumpy like an auctioneer
Am I the headlights or am I the deer?

We told our half truths to the neighbors
Tried not to look them in the eye
We headed out when the sun went down
Driving north on 95

We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
Keep the pedal down

Has it sunk in yet?
When you see it you can't forget
There's a window while the concrete's wet
It's kinda looking like the footprint's set

We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down

They said you'd make such good parents
It sounds like old fashioned fun
Fall in love by the iPhone light
One each a daughter and a son

But we lead our lambs to slaughter
It's profit, boot straps, and guns
Every god needs a sacrifice
Honey what have we done?
What the fuck have we done?

Is anyone out there?
Is this thing on?
The temple is sacked and the healers are gone
You'll turn into a pillar of salt if you dare turn around

Is anyone out there?
Is this thing on?
The temple is sacked and the healers are gone
You'll turn into a pillar of salt if you dare turn around
Don't you dare turn around

We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
We can grieve it later
Keep the pedal down
Keep the pedal down
Keep the pedal down
Keep the pedal down

Keep the pedal down
