lyrics

We were sitting at the party drinking heavy
Yelling believe in life after love
We were so damn drunk and doing our best impressions of Cher that we all could

Until someone said I’d kill for more tequila
Another voice said fuck man, we’re out of drugs
In a moment of silence, I had an idea
And slowly started standing up

Oh, just let me use your car and I’ll go

I didn’t have money, but I knew that my friend
Always kept a pistol in the car
So I parked down the street, where no one would see me
And walked into the gas station store

Yelling
La la da die
Don’t start to cry
Just give me what I want and I’ll go

La da da die
Put the money inside
Cause no one wants to die in a Texaco

I was staring at the man behind the counter
The customers were laying on the floor
I said we’re gonna sing a song, it’s called the sound of silence
And you, just open the fucking drawer

But he pulled out a gun like a magician
Well, I’ve also learned some magic through the years
My bullet hocus pocus’d through the back of his head and
Made the side of his jaw disappear.

Goddamnit
La la da die
I told you not to try
Look at what you made me do

La la da die
Now you’re gonna die
The only one to blame here is you

I’m guessing that you all feel like a hostage
But I’m sure it feels nice to be held
Though comedy and tragedy historically are linked
The joke didn’t go over too well

Oh, please let us go, I promise that we won’t say a thing
I said the next thing you do decides the version of you
Your family will see again

I had no idea where I was going
I just knew I had to get out of this town
Just give me your keys, you’re coming with me
A few minutes later we were nowhere to be found

La la da die
Enjoy the ride
Keep your eyes on the road

La la da die
There was the sign
120 miles from Mexico

And then it hit me
