Lyrics
Living in a scrapyard sleeping with the snakes and dogs
Looking around for patterns mapping out the stars
I been crawling in the gravel I dug a hole under the tin fence
Everybody is coming and going? I can’t tell if I came or went
Living in a scrapyard seeking comfort in the pain
a man can’t sit around, it’ll make him sick and lame
I found a letter in the wind, it said, “to whom it may concern, come back to me again. My flame for you still burns.”
Living in a scrapyard got a dirty carburetor for a heart
A cracked rear view for a soul and few other broken parts
the sunlight fades my leather, the rain rusts my hood
Wanna get back on the road, gonna fix up real good
