Lyrics

Jimmy as-salamu alaykum
Keep your head on straight
Though he don't know where we live
He'll sniff us out eventually

Lying in our powder keg blue bedroom wide awake
With the cyanide bought and spent
Never to be found metabolizing

In my own defense I know I'll make the case so wrong
Cause I know not what I did
And if you wanna burn me for it go ahead

Headlights
Down the road
Slowing down and they ask
"Where you trying to go"
There's a storm that I saw
As a kid the burbs
Just a thought
You can go where you want
Anywhere but home

For the dinner with the family
They all say I've gone astray
Though I'm crying on the phone
They forgive my trespasses, forget my woe

I can't even bear the curses of their long divorce
And what a joy it is to die
In the heaven sent electric chair

And I don't wanna fuck a stranger when the night is young
It's a kid I'll have to raise
A color I can't paint and a word I can't say

Come on as-salamu alaykum
Keep your head on straight
Though he don't know where we live
He'll sniff us out eventually yeah
