Windshield Full of Insects

Paroles de « Windshield Full of Insects »

Intro: full band, cold open

Chorus

Windshield full of insects, eight hours south
Windshield full of insects, watch your mouth
Say it once more, say it out loud

Verse

Left at nine with a cold coffee in the cup holder,
Highway 11 and the radio gone to static.
Six years is a long time to be somebody's rumor,
I've got a duffel bag and a rented Civic.
And I'm saying, hey man, it's been a minute,
saying it flat, then saying it warmer,
till the bugs come down like a yellow blizzard
and I lose the shoulder.

Chorus

Windshield full of insects, eight hours south
Windshield full of insects, watch your mouth
Say it once more, say it out loud

Verse

Quarter past two, pulled off for washer fluid,
the kid behind the counter never looked up once.
Scraped the glass with a gas receipt and a fingernail,
still can't get the wings off the wipers.
And I've got their numbers, every one of them,
never deleted, never dialed either,
and I know the gate code the way I know a birthday
I didn't ask to remember.

Chorus

Windshield full of insects, eight hours south
Windshield full of insects, watch your mouth
Say it once more, say it out loud
Windshield full of insects, eight hours south
Windshield full of insects, watch your mouth
Say it once more, say it out loud

Outro

Somebody left a light on. Somebody left a light on.
Somebody left a light on and it isn't for me—
