"Come on man," she said
"We have to leave this town. I can't stand another day without the rain"
I said, "We'll leave now, you can pack our things, let me get the bill and I can make it straight"
It was the same as yesterday
We'd been gone and the miles stretched down the long road
We moved as fast as we could
Through the heat of the desert and the cruelty of that Buick's seat, just to keep on
That night we laid on the floor of the desert but I could barely sleep
Yeah, I had this dream
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I woke up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd
As they filled the tank, we had a drink
She whispered, "Let's get moving"
The next night we laid on the floor of the desert but I still couldn't sleep
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
"We have to leave this town. I can't stand another day without the rain"
I said, "We'll leave now, you can pack our things, let me get the bill and I can make it straight"
It was the same as yesterday
We'd been gone and the miles stretched down the long road
We moved as fast as we could
Through the heat of the desert and the cruelty of that Buick's seat, just to keep on
That night we laid on the floor of the desert but I could barely sleep
Yeah, I had this dream
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I woke up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd
As they filled the tank, we had a drink
She whispered, "Let's get moving"
The next night we laid on the floor of the desert but I still couldn't sleep
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me

this song is amazing, i love the intro. why hasnt anyone commented this yet.
Am I the only one that finds this kind of an.... odd song by Minus the Bear? Same with El Torrente in fact.
i concur...however, i have to admit, when introducing someone to the band it's a great song to start with. it's pro'lly one of my favourites off the record.
I most definitely just got finished writing a four page english paper all about this song.
this song is definitely one of my favourites. the way it builds up and then suddenly gets loud and just.. aah! it's brilliant.
She whispered lets get moving. My favorite part.
favourite song my minus the bear. i swear it is just brilliant.
