about

Headlights pointed at the sun slippin’ slowly down

lyrics

Somebody came into town today
With a big bouquet of dying roses
Cellophane tape and aerosol paint
To say goodbye on the pavement

Late on Monday soon be gone
Headlights pointed at the sun
Slippin’ slowly down

Old worn out shoes and broken fuse
The man who can’t remember his own name
Alien tales and rusty nails
To hammer down the lid on the spaceship

Late on Monday soon be gone
Headlights pointed at the sun
Slippin’ slowly down

Late on Monday soon be gone
Headlights pointed at the sun
Slippin’ slowly down
