Straight Six by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2001

[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
