No, nothing good starts in a getaway car... It was the best of times The worst of crimes I struck a match And blew your mind But I didn't mean it And you didn't see it The ties were black The lies were white In shades of gray And candlelight I wanted to leave him I needed a reason X marks the spot Where we fell apart He poisoned the well I was lying to myself Knew it from the first Old fashioned we were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark CHORUS: You were driving the getaway car We were flying But we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Riding in a getaway car There were sirens In the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway car It was the great escape The prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinking And I was just drinking Well he was running after us I was screaming 'Go go go!' But with three of us, honey It's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story And now we're both sorry X marks the spot Where we fell apart He poisoned the well Every man for himself I knew it from the first Old fashioned we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart CHORUS We were jet set Bonnie and Clyde Until I switched to the other side It's no surprise, I turned you in 'Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in the motel bar I put the money in a bag And stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me CHORUS I was riding in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was dying in a getaway car Said 'goodbye' in a getaway car I was riding in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was dying in a getaway car Said 'goodbye' in a getaway car
