Long Black Cars
[Verse 1]
A pirate on a pirate ship throws confetti to the wind
Wasps fly drunkenly into the overflowing bins
A six foot yellow bear, a hot air balloon
The whole town came down to see it all this afternoon
[Bridge]
Sunlight bounces off the windows, blinks into my eye
You promised me you’d give it the old college try
[Chorus]
And the long black cars roll by
The long black cars roll by
And the long black cars roll by
Me, again
[Verse 2]
You said, ‘David your brother is coming home,’ liked you always hoped you would
He’s been too long down at the mouth, too long up to no good
But I know why you didn’t call for so long
And I know why you finally called, when you did
[Bridge]
Sunlight bounces off the windows, blinks into my eye
You promised me you’d give it thе old college try
[Chorus]
And the long black cars roll by
Thе long black cars roll by
And the long black cars roll by
Me, again
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
You said, ‘I heard the devil’s in the details,’ and I heard that god was in there too
And I even heard that the two of them in there were making up a wager all about you
But I haven’t forgiven anything and I haven’t forgotten anything
And I would hope that you of all people would know that by now
[Bridge]
Sunlight bounces off the windows, blinks into my eye
You promised me you’d give it the old college try
[Chorus]
And the long black cars roll by
The long black cars roll by
And the long black cars roll by
Me, again
[Chorus]
And the long black cars roll by
The long black cars roll by
And the long black cars roll by
Me, again
