Momus - The Driver lyrics

Carcrash in autumn ten years today
You wanted an exit i was the way

I was locked up when you broke in
I was the car you crashed in
How can so much pain
Be in something that's gone?

Guggenheim glasses van der Graaf hair
So many faces but, you're not there

Amputee syndrome my phantom limb
Buzzing inside me under my skin
How can so much pain
Be in something that's gone?

And I am the driver of nothing at all
One of us void now the other just null

Japanese paper paris in spring
In your apartment skin on skin

Like an abortion with the foetus still there
I can still smell your hair
How can so much pain
Be in something that's gone?

Surrounded by flowers allergic as hell
The joyride was ours
And the children's as well

Carcrash in autumn my phantom limb
Buzzing beside me as real as skin
How can so much pain
Be in something that's gone?

And I am the driver of nothing at all
One of us void now the other just null
How can so much pain
Be in something that's gone?
Ten years already life carries on
