I'm a live stripped wire
A rude imagination frayed by insulation
You're a light in a sign
And you shine like neon
You're the key, the one I need
To free my facination
Turn the night into poison penlight
And I'll write you down
Metaphor ya baby
I'm a Radio Flyer
A doggie come a draggin,
Got my tail a'waggin
You're a flame and I'm a bong
On a long lost weekend
Running like a watercolor
Drippin off the deep end
Life's a drive on a lazy Sunday
Through the locust rain
Metaphor ya baby
I'm a worn down tire
Someone grab a wrench and
Twist me some redemption
You're a hand on a gun
You're the one who paints those
Fishbones on the parking lot
So cars all fall in straight rows
I wanna wrap you up in a big white blanket
Wanna cloud your eyes
Metaphor ya baby
