In our dissolute romance through desperate hours In the scrubland by IKEA We wax lyrical wise in the witching hour Over cans of lager beer We call up to the heavens But the signal won't go that far In this city scape, a neon black we can barely see the stars There's only street lamps to wish upon tonight We're burning cars We're burning cars To make our own stars We're burning cars High out in the cold night air Pull on whisky, pull you closer Her face lit up by the shit we burn Breath like wotsits and samosa As the lights grew farther and farther, she'd ask Is this forever? Each night we hit it harder I'd say you never can say never If this world gets too frightening We'll shot gun white lightening, but tonight We're burning cars We're burning cars To make our own stars We're burning cars
