The setting sun
1
Another pump of expensive perfume,
another glance at the mirror.
That strand of hair won’t stay in place
and the minutes are ticking away.
2
A couple more drops of aftershave,
a couple more decisions to make.
Resisting the strong temptation
of swallowing a can of beer.
Chorus
And he pulls into her driveway
thinking of screaming out her name
so they’ll go riding into the setting sun.
She paces her room, heels in hand
Heart racing at millions per second.
His unsteady foot lands on the pedal -
heart racing at millions per second,
pulling out of the driveway,
into the setting sun.
3
Nauseating is the expensive perfume
lingering on the nails she bites
as she awaits her Prince,
late, by the reading on her watch.
4
Another empty can dropped in the back,
another tear clouds his eyes
as he speeds down the silent streets,
losing control of the steering wheel -
5
Losing control of his blooming life,
while she’s slowly losing her mind
as her love crashes in the setting sun -
orange sky, blood stained clothes.
Chorus
Bridge
Losing control of the steering wheel,
losing control of his blooming life
while she’s losing her mind, losing her mind
his body sleeps in the setting sun.
Chorus
End
And he pulls into her driveway
thinking of screaming out her name
so they’ll go riding into the setting sun.
