Had a map had a chance left in a stolen car 
The brochure looked like heaven but we knew we'de never make it that far 
See fields and the poor towns flew by in the da--rk 
And our plan my dear there she slips with one single shots to the (?) 
heart full of strings, heart full of finer things 
There is salvation out there, there are reasons for us to care 
And on the wheel, try hard to breathe and feel 

Cuz goin out's the easy part x2 

And if the devil was a poet, I doubt that he would know it 
and I doubt that he could win your heart with simple words of flame like 
love is just a prison if there's no one there to listen and the truth is shallow water if you learn nothing when you came 

Found a cause had a chance, dream with a cheap guitar 
I know she belieed it but she knew I'd never make it that far 
She says they'de follow me down if I didn't gi--ve myself away 
So you just hold on tight and close your eyes and try damn not think about yesterday 
She said Her father was a holy man who hid her from the world like a puppet in an evening dress with plastic friends and pearls 
And I never was much for dancin, so I was the leader of the band, and I played revolutionary waltzes with a revolver in my hand 
A--nd over strings, a hand full of finer things 
There is salvation in here, reasons for us to care 
And on the wheel, tryh ard not to breathe and feel 
Cuz goin out's the easy part x2 

And if the devil was a poet, I doubt that he would know it 
and I doubt that he could win your heart with simple words of flame like 
love is just a meaning of someone else's dreaming and Heather's like sunday
