Straight Six by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dull powder blue paint job
Earl Scheib special
Dashboard full of talismans to try and push fate
Rabbit skull hanging from the rear-view
Six kicking cylinders lined up straight
[Refrain]
And I ride
And I glide down the streets of this city
All night, uptight
Jenny's on the cellular, high as a kite
[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the windshield eighteen inches long
Evaporating snow forming crystals on the chrome
Brand new battery I shoplifted from the Pep Boys
Cold cranking power to bring me on home
[Refrain]
And I ride
And I glide down the streets of this city
All night, uptight
Jenny's on the cellular, high as a kite
[Outro]
Sometimes the moon shines like a beacon to the weary and the sick in spirit
And sometimes, sometimes it's dark
Dull powder blue paint job
Earl Scheib special
Dashboard full of talismans to try and push fate
Rabbit skull hanging from the rear-view
Six kicking cylinders lined up straight
[Refrain]
And I ride
And I glide down the streets of this city
All night, uptight
Jenny's on the cellular, high as a kite
[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the windshield eighteen inches long
Evaporating snow forming crystals on the chrome
Brand new battery I shoplifted from the Pep Boys
Cold cranking power to bring me on home
[Refrain]
And I ride
And I glide down the streets of this city
All night, uptight
Jenny's on the cellular, high as a kite
[Outro]
Sometimes the moon shines like a beacon to the weary and the sick in spirit
And sometimes, sometimes it's dark
