lyrics

the gods of this world fell asleep in the lap of the ditch
shallow but sure it could hold any memory you wish
we could grind up their bones in a brew fit for raising the dead
put grease in our guts and these ten gallon hats on our heads

we patched every crack in the concrete and wrapped it in chrome
strung up those forty watt lights and I made it our home
but this acre of asphalt and diamonds was doomed from the start
so I traded our bowl full dust for this old wicked heart

We are the victims of love
and we never lost faith that there was someone above
that would leave us to suffer and die
so I traded my soul for the first taste of pie
faded road maps and cheap gasoline
the last case a beer and a smut magazine
holding on to that vision of you
till that all night Oasis appears
or it all fades to blue
it all fades to blue

Doomed romance wrapped up like a souvenir
Love left us broken and it lead us here

We are the victims of love
and we never lost faith that there was someone above
that would leave us to suffer and die
so I traded my soul for the first taste of pie
faded road maps and cheap gasoline
the last case a beer and a smut magazine
holding on to that vision of you
till that all night Oasis appears
or it all fades to blue
it all fades to blue

the gods of this world fell asleep in the lap of the ditch
shallow but sure it could hold any memory you wish
we could grind up their bones in a brew fit for raising the dead
put grease in our guts and these ten gallon hats on our heads
