Lyrics Speedy Ortiz – Cash Cab
Text:
As up above then so below
Who pays
Rat king of the ward
Fell slack on the course
He can’t remember a thing, fleeing the chalk of his mess
All of the smart ones repress
They get amnesia and now I wanna forget I loved someone who left me for dead
I forgot to forget
Only an empty head says, «I wanna be with somebody.»
It went below and as I foretold
You’ll pay
How wisely he roars
The chariot
Tell me what do you retain
You can’t remember a thing
Torn between too many heads
All of the bad ones repress
They get amnesia and now I wanna forget I loved someone who left me for dead
I want amnesia just to please you again
Here goes another empty threat:
I wanna be with somebody just like me
Someone who laughs at crashed car rental
Someone who hurts in an accident
Someone as scared of abandonment
And all I’ll ever do is untie all your knots
Dissolve all your thoughts
I wanna be with somebody just like me
Somebody just like me
I wanna be with somebody just like me
I’ll do all this when you pay me
