Burnout Paradise Lyrics

Slept on the same sheets for the last six months

I got a pile of cardboard I'll never break down

Leaves in the gutters that are overflowing

Bread in the cupboard that's been covered in mold

And there's a wide open world with nowhere to go

There's a mangled car on the side of the road

There's a wide open world with nowhere to go

There's a fortune in my hands I can't take home

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

Getting mad at things I don't know about

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

Sheep in wolf's clothing keep guarding the way out

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

I felt so indestructible until I got off the couch

The belt runs noisy when we're idle

Put 10,000 miles on those balding tires

Til I'm riding a donut through the drive-thru

Then home to stacked newspapers on my front porch

And there's a wide open world with nowhere to go

There's a mangled car on the side of the road

There's a wide open world with nowhere to go

There's a fortune in my hands I can't take home

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

Getting mad at things I don't know about

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

Sheep in wolf's clothing keep guarding the way out

Don't call in paradise when I burn out

I felt so indestructible until I got off the couch

I'm the hair in your drain with standing water

I'm the pair of glasses you're still squinting through

I'm the clock on the dashboard set to the wrong time

I'm the key you left hanging in a swinging door

And there's a wide open world with nowhere to go

There's a wide open world with nowhere to go
