"How To Act" lyrics

"How To Act"

I drink my coffee til the fire burns out
I do my thinking til I have no doubt
I go out driving in my automobile
It runs on jealousy it's made of steel

I rev my engine til the light turns green
I watch the windshield like a silver screen
The sky is fiction and the road is fact
You can't direct me, I know how to act

You always end up where you are
When you're driving in your car
You always come from where you've been
If you run away you're free from sin

I hit the doldrums in the afternoon
I dream of howling at the bloody orange moon
My soul is dragging and my head is dry
I'm breathing fire like the distant sky

I drink my coffee til I'm running hot
I count my cards until I know what I've got
I like my company like I like rain
Sometimes it's worth it and you need the pain

You always end up where you are
When you're driving in your car
You always come from where you've been
If you run away you're free from sin

You always end up where you are
When you're driving in your car
You always come from where you've been
If you run away you're free from sin
