Vinny

Vinny got arrested at the bar
He's got a one-track mind and a two-track heart
I heard he's on his third DUI
How could a boy with eyes so bright be so damn blind?
I watch the storm clouds as they're rolling in
Pediatrician said I'm getting kinda thin
I've got a big black heart with gunfire in its beat
I don't know what it is that pulls him back to me

It's like a car crash
No, I can't turn away
Unless I know for sure
It's really you in those flames
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to cause you pain
But Vinny's blacked out by the dumpster
And it always goes this way

I think LA is driving me insane
I had a dream I drove back home and lost my way
Stuck in the hot sun, thumb out, dust stinging my eyes
A Comfort Inn, AC on, ice cube paradise
You always talked about me like a god
I always kept your change to prove that I was not
And now your every future lover knows my name
And now I see your smile in every stranger's face

It's like a car crash
No, I can't turn away
Unless I know for sure
It's really you in those flames
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to cause you pain
But there's a five out on the counter
And it always goes this way

It's like a car crash
No, I can't turn away
Unless I know for sure
It's really you in those flames
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to cause you pain
But Vinny's blacked out by the dumpster
And it always goes this way
