Hit and Run

Once you walked a lonesome road Snapped stilettos in your hand Crunch of rocks between your toes The headlights swam And your makeup ran You were lost but found a way Through this cloud of revelry You're only happy when you're lonely You're only happy when you're free It struck me like a hit and run With a girl and a gun A pair of cat-eyed shades Slipping down her nose With a dirty joke And a pack of smokes-- Naw you shouldn't have But I'll take one anyway From the one that got away I found your book of Baudelaire (You know i did you know I did you know I) I pick it up from time to time (I pick it up from time to time) You never stray far from my mind Remember when we almost left it all behind Like a hit and run With a girl and a gun A pair of cat-eyed shades Slipping down her nose With a dirty look And an old match book You poured a trail of gas And laughed at the flames You're the one that got away End of the road Remember singing along To Bridgette Bardot Je t'aime de toute mon âme Bridgette Bardot The music's fading (oh no) Headlights passing in the distance I wish I'd seized the instance to just call you back I wish I'd called you back Well, nevermind
