(Theme From) Carjack Fever - Harvey Danger

Well, there’s a bright white light

To shine, shine on all the dim bulbs in the crowd tonight

And there’s a thin yellow line to separate the fast lane

And there’s a man I know, he’ll take apart your engine if you ask him right

Let’s empty all the minibars and leave this town in flames

He’s starving for attention

She’s swallowing her pride

Bitter gall for bleeding ulcers

Attitudes you can’t abide

A sentence fragment city

A poor excuse for a life of crime

This is not a road picture

We are not amused (or surprised)

You don’t need a passport to know what state you’re in

She wore barrettes of many colors in her many-colored hair

That’s not the point -- they only notice what you wear

She said, «The moon is a toenail, the stars are a guardrail

My heart is a sand pail

And you’re Toluca Lake.»

Stop the traffic!

Bend the time!

We’re heading into territory too ugly to explore

(but they’ve both been there before)

He quotes Nathanael West

She tries her best

But can’t find a mouth to grin with --

'Cause a tragedy requires a little greatness to begin with…

You are ill wind;

you blow no good

A pissant under glass, an airport neighborhood

Earthquake survivor, feral youngsters smoking tea

Spit in your hands and see you splinter every tree

Culver City!

Beachwood Drive!

Vesper Avenue!

Hey hey!

The needle on the radiator

Rising as the road inclines

The scene is going nowhere fast

He’s shooting highway signs

She carves her sorry epitaph

A carjack fever scrawl:

«If you only live in movies, maybe you don’t really live at all.»

You don’t need a passport to know what state you’re in

To know what state you’re in

To know what state you’re in

To know what state you’re…
