Shovels & Rope - Crown Victoria Lyrics

Shovels & Rope Lyrics

"Crown Victoria"

Matty said that change is good
As they looked at the neighborhood
Ashes floating where they stood
Like snowfall in a prison
Poison smells and blackened trash
Broken trust and broken glass
They told it like it happened fast
On the television

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait

Matty likes to stomp his feet
But Mary keeps it soft and sweet
Sharing headphones on the street
Blooming in the summer
Slowly 'round the corner comes
Unmarked Crown Victoria
No reason that they should run
But their hearts pounded like thunder

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way

The olden days are over now
Moss hangs on the broken crown
If it don't work then tear it down
And reach for something better

But I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way
