Shovels & Rope - Manticore

Crown Victoria

Matty said that, "Change is good"
As they looked at the neighborhood
Ashes floating where they stood
Like snowfall in a prison

Poison smells and blackened trash
Broken trust and broken glass
They told it like it happened fast
On the television

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Hmm-hmm

Matty likes to stomp his feet
But Mary keeps it soft and sweet
Sharin' headphones on the street
Bloomin' in the summer

Slowly 'round the corner comes
Unmarked Crown Victoria
No reason that they should run
But their hearts pounded like thunder

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

The olden days are over now
Moss hangs on the broken crown
If it don't work, then tear it down
And reach for somethin' better

But I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait-ait
I don't wanna wait-ait
Or look the other way

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait-ait
Or look the other way

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
For this to go away

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
Or look the other way

Ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba, ba-ba-b, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba
