taillights fade
Sister can you hear me now The ringing in your ears I'm down on the ground My luck's been dry for years  I'm lost in the dark And I feel like a dinosaur Broken face and broken hands I'm a broken man  I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black  I read a thing about this girl She was a hermit in her world Her story was much like mine She could be my valentine  And although we've never met I won't forget her yet She cut herself off from her past Now she's alone at last  I feel so sick Lost love's last licks But I'm closing down on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black  Lost my life in cheap wine Now it's quiet time Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ Could not help my fate  But I'm underneath a gun I'm singing about my past Had myself a wonderful thing But I could not make it last  I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so small Underneath it all Watch my taillights fade to black Watch my taillights fade Watch my taillights fade Watch my taillights fade
