THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - Gasoline lyrics

rate me

<BR>

..Five, six, seven, eight!<br>

<br>

All the time, awake<br>

You're still on my mind<br>

But we were on our own<br>

Almost all the time<br>

<br>

And she'll step away<br>

For a second or two<br>

And I close my eyes<br>

And I think of you<br>

<br>

We were only seventeen<br>

We were holding in our screams<br>

Like we'd torn it from the pages of some lipstick magazine<br>

And you scratch and turn<br>

And say, "let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream"<br>

Like gasoline<br>

<br>

Those tender days<br>

At your mother's house<br>

And your father would find my hand inside your blouse<br>

<br>

But they tell me that<br>

You're married now<br>

Oh my dear, I fear I can't understand how<br>

<br>

When we were only seventeen<br>

We were holding back our screams<br>

Like we'd torn our lives from the pages of some girly magazines<br>

And you scratch and turn<br>

And say, "let's burn these sheets down to the seams"<br>

Like gasoline<br>

<br>

I was only twenty one<br>

I wasn't having any fun<br>

And the words you said tore through my head<br>

Like bullets from a gun<br>

And I shoulda just shown up and said,<br>

"Get in this car, let's run"<br>

<br>

And these years have seen so many imitations turning green<br>

Each like the last, they go right past like credits on a screen<br>

But your memory blazes through me<br>

Burning everything<br>

Like gasoline<br>

Like gasoline<br>

Like gasoline<br>

<BR><BR>
