Rust Under the Hood Lyrics

Could you give me some time?

You know that haste makes waste

Is It considered a crime

To lose the race without grace

I forgot all my lines

In this worldwide play

It ain't funny no more

I've been losing face

Will you tell my friend Joe

I saw her daughter by the water

Tide's up time to go

She's been out looking for her father

And the kid wants to know

If she should even bother

She's been talking to

The herons and the otters

Rust under the hood

Baby knock on wood

Nerve damage in the neighborhood

And the good thing grows wild

For miles and miles and miles

Should I ride on this wave

Or just wait another year

Sat on this board all day

But the action ain't clear

I think I'm drifting away

Or maybe I was never here

I've been hearing the song

Mermaids must be near

Rust under the hood

Baby knock on wood

Nerve damage in the neighborhood

And the good thing grows wild

For miles and miles and miles
