Kidnap Me
Burnout at its most honest. I didn't want to run away. I wanted someone else to take the wheel for once and carry me off for a little while, so I wouldn't have to be the one making every decision.
Six A M on a Monday, the engine's cold and slow
Got a list of all the places that a good man has to go
The coffee's on, the kids need toast, the whole world's in a spin
Just trying to find the user's guide for the skin I'm living in
Oh, somebody oughta kidnap me, steal me from this town
Find a little getaway car and burn the whole thing down
Just for a little while, you know, just to feel alive
'Cause my battery is flashing red, but I still have to drive
Yeah, I'm the one who makes the plans and answers when they call
The steady hand, the smiling face who's holding up the wall
I'm payin' all the bills on time, I'm fixin' what is broke
My whole life is the punchline to a long and tired joke
Oh, somebody oughta kidnap me, steal me from this town
Find a little getaway car and burn the whole thing down
Just for a little while, you know, just to feel alive
'Cause my battery is flashing red, but I still have to drive
And I know I've got it good, I know I've got it made
Got a love that's true, a debt that's paid, a life in sunny shade
But there's a whisper in the static, a ghost inside the beat
Just a pair of hands that does the work, and tired, aching feet
So, somebody oughta kidnap me, steal me from this town
Find a little getaway car and burn the whole thing down
Just for a little while, you know, just to feel alive
'Cause my battery is flashing red, but I still have to drive
Have to drive
Have to drive
Have to drive
