Ray Lyrics

So there was Ray

Watching tv again but it's broken and it's got no sound

"This is the life" he was thinking as he watched the rain fall down

There in full view of the street he set fire to his car

And he laughed 'til he cried

As he watched the molten paint fall on the tar

Can you live without this town?

Can you live without your friends?

What can you live without?

Could you put your own eyes out?

Burn the car

Will that make amends?

Another dawn

Another day when the postman won't come by

So Raymond sits

And watches tv shows to make a grown man cry

Sitting outside in the street

The burned-out wreck of his old car

And he laughs til he cries

As he contemplates her picture above the bar

Can you live without this town?

Can you live without your friends?

What can you live without?

Could you put your own eyes out?

Burn the car

Will that make amends?
