5th Gear

I’ll ignore the past and the present
Whatever it takes to get you protected
I’m covering the covers again
Into your arms and into your head
Took the 5th gear to the wheel and then said
You’d spend the money all over again
But do you even know where the river flows?
Into my garden and out of your head

Did you hear what Amy heard with her ears?
Cops are coming, get the hell out of here
I think for a moment, pause, and I send
A thought out joke to get me laughing again
Am I in the 5th gear or am I just dead in the back of my head?
‘Cause I don’t want to know where you’re garden grows
Into my corner and out of yours

(yeah yeah yeah)
Just leave me alone
(yeah yeah yeah)

I’ll ignore the past and the present
Whatever it takes to get you protected
I’m covering the covers again
Into your arms and into your head
Took the 5th gear to the wheel and then said
You’d spend the money all over again
But do you even know where the river flows?
Into my garden and out of your head

(yeah yeah yeah)
Just pick up the phone
(yeah yeah yeah)

(I shouldn’t exist right now)
While I’m waiting for your call in the bathroom stall
(I shouldn’t exist right now)
Drinking champagne at the charity ball
(I shouldn’t exist right now)
Only five foot tall, got nothing at all
(I shouldn’t exist right now)
Making an excuse to avoid you all
