| "Behind the Wheel" | |
| BEHIND THE WHEEL You were always so far above me; Said it would bring you down to love me. Never once thought to throw me a rope, Not even one single thread of hope. Orange and silver were your colors, Words I couldnt find any rhymes for. You shopped for pearls, diamonds, and furs; Dropped me off at the local dime store. Can I get a witness? Can I get you to confess? Can I get a witness? Whos to blame for all this mess? You were the one behind the wheel, While I had to beg, borrow, and steal. You never thought I could climb this high; Thought I was a real down-to-earth guy. Well, Ive grown a lot since you left me Stranded at the edge of the Dead Sea. Now, Im here on the same cloud as you, And I can tell it feels crowded too. Well, I should tell you, “Dont let the vapors hit you Back there where the Good Lord split you.” Can I get a witness? Can I get you to confess? Can I get a witness? Whos to blame for all this mess? Now, Im the one whos behind the wheel Of this car I didnt have to steal. Copyright 2007 Lex Zaleta | |
