Crash And Burn/Subway Ride

I watched the sun come up on Portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to LA
I gave away all my loose ends

Somebody said you gotta get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standin' there
Holdin' the hand of my best friend

And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
I'll see you when I reach New Mexico
If I'm in the mood to crash and burn

I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
I'll take my cell phone to bed

And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
And I call you up when my bottle's dry
And I'm on my way to crash and burn

Antigone laid across the road
And let a Mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well, love might be great, but why lose your head?

Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
'Cause I've gotten use to the crash and burn
I say I've gotten use to the crash and burn

Crash and burn
Crash, Crash
Crash and burn

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

I was ridin' on the E-train
I was whistlin' to the rhythm
I was thinkin' about my live-in
I was feelin' pretty fine
I asked the time
Got a poke in the eye

When I read the latest news
How we can't believe he wore those shoes
Should we have the man impeached
Or should we shoot him in the foot?
Well, you waste my time, you waste my time
Lookin' for two hundred ways to hang a guy

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

Allegations, interrogations, investigations
Then more taxation
National pastime is aggravation
I think I'll move out to a desert isle
Just for a while

To avoid all that's distractin'
Like newspapers and magazines
Insipid propagandizin'
To tell me what a loser I've elected
But you've neglected to tell the truth
That your politics is tied around his foot
And we too are danglin'

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

Do you think that we are crazy?
Low IQ that we are lazy
That we sit here watchin' sitcoms
That we have no clue to what is goin' on
Well, you got that wrong

Wait and see, the boom will fall
The mornin' eggs will hit the wall
And everyone I know will call
To say that change is hangin' in the air
You'd best beware
Well, you'll wake up, and Average Joe is in your chair
Just because he'd kinda like to do what's right
But more 'cause all you politicians do is fight

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

I was ridin' on the E-train (do-do-do-do)
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
I was singin' another refrain (do-do-do-do)
