Lyrics for Ambulance

Once, just by chance I made a friend in an ambulance I was half man, half broken glass She had a needle but I wasn't afraid I'd slap the cuffs right on my wrists I'd get so high I'd arrest myself For honeysuckle on a buckle Broken teeth biting on my belt High in a trance My life smeared right past In a blue light I thought she was dancing But she was just holding my cold hand 'Cause everything can shine Even the devil sometimes And while I was busy dying My Lord, she made some other plan Traveling salesmen, carrying trunks You can smell th械m coming like skunks In the distance, if your 械yes can focus That's how God once spoke to us Trying not to laugh They pronounced me dead at half past And that priest, he pissed his pants When he heard me start to say hello Everything can shine Even the devil sometimes While I was busy dying My Lord, she made some other plan
