lyrics

Many rooms were christened this way:
Smoke settling over everything, joints
Being passed around. A sort of circle
Protecting like salts from evil spirits, evil spirits
Jenny shotguns her hit of the joint to Jessie
Without using her hand as the barrel
A two-in-one heartstring tug:
Not only are they in love, they smoke together

We get in Jessie’s ride

Her car stereo is heavy on my body
The bass bumps up against my backside
I close my eyes, pass the time
I can’t even tell we’re moving
And these city streets have holes
You can’t believe the toll, oh
The car takes, like, oh, my heart takes

Jessie parks just outside the door
Convenience sold in every store
We all get out the car; it’s nothing special,
But I would like a painting of this scene, this sacred routine
Aisles of snacks, coolers in the back
I touch everything like I want some
I fool no one
Only a coffee for me—black—we pay separately

We get in Jessie’s ride

Her car stereo on my body
We can’t help but sing along
Our harmonies are strong
Whose tunes are we listening to?
I’ve got next song. (What?!) I do!
And it’s a good one, too, oh
The car brakes, like, oh, my heart breaks

Sayin’
Let’s not go inside, let’s go for a longer ride
Always be in transit, start a brand new life
I’m just playing! Don’t forget your cherry pie
Listen to my song when we get back inside
When we get inside, don’t forget your cherry pie
When we get inside, don’t forget your cherry pie
When we get inside

Many rooms were christened this way
