Leave Or Stay Lyrics
well, I stood beside the rain today
and twisted out my shirt
and she's a cooly you could say
when she gets down in the dirt
she puffs her pillow up so high
it's like she's hanging in the sky
she claims it was a crazy guy
who taught her how to hurt
yeah kept her so alert
I felt so under sideways down
when she showed me all her prints
I could not help but feel confused
when she threw that heavy hint
oh she pulled out all her magazines
she spread them out like chocolate dreams
her eyes were shooting dagger beams
she changed into her silk
I stood there drinking milk
well I could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
she said don't listen to her words
as if they were all dead
she said she never made decisions
but the last thing that she said
just before she turned the bed
she said well I could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
o.k.
well I could leave or stay
and twisted out my shirt
and she's a cooly you could say
when she gets down in the dirt
it's like she's hanging in the sky
she claims it was a crazy guy
who taught her how to hurt
yeah kept her so alert
when she showed me all her prints
I could not help but feel confused
when she threw that heavy hint
she spread them out like chocolate dreams
her eyes were shooting dagger beams
I stood there drinking milk
well I could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
as if they were all dead
she said she never made decisions
but the last thing that she said
just before she turned the bed
makes no difference either way
o.k.
well I could leave or stay

This song seems to be about a less than reputable female who is coming onto the singer and the singer is indifferent. A decent song off of the Cars last and least successful album, Door To Door, this song gives us what I still concider as one of the greatest lines in rock and roll ever, "She changed inot her silk/I stood there drinking milk."
