Shovels, Rope - Domino lyrics

September 30, 1955
Grease sticking in my hair, sticks sticking in my thigh
Got that sweet silver Spyder, got that sugar in my eye
Gonna push her till she's smoking, gonna break her 85
Tire fire pumping up the smoke
Firecrackers strapped to a can of coke
The squeal and the wheel and the speed and the choke
Immortal 'cause America can't ever let me go
Did I die last night, am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino

Iconic, supersonic
Fifties America, you know you want it
I'm Jimmy Starr, I'm out the door
That's what they say to say you leave 'em wanting more, more, more
I'm the mood of your broody generation
I'm you, I'm what you're chasing
I'm the face the freewheeling dealer's making
Queue all the girls and the boys and their parents' hearts shaking
Did I last night, am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino

466, 5:45
54, I hit the side
I'm DOA, give me the lasso
Guess they'll get Paul Newman to play Rocky Graziano
I'm the mood of your broody generation
I'm you, I'm what you're chasing
I'm the face the freewheeling dealer's making
Queue all the girls and the boys and their parents' hearts racing
Did I die last night, am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino
