Lyrics Kudos For The Stretcher, Bruce

So what's the difference between bones and car parts anyway?

When your heart is broken the rest of you is expendable

Oh, what a pretty way of screaming out each other's names

With the flashing lights we fell in love again

Oh no



Your smiling face turned into sparks

The night had reached it peak for sure

Can we retrace the tire marks

And laugh at where we were before?



So if we died last night our rather beautiful insides

Would have become one with the cloth upholstery



Our screeching wheel ballet premiere had opened with a smash

Took an ambulance to the reception at the hospital

I didn't know I could sport crutches with such brilliant class

You brought x-rays back in fashion with your kneecap show



You held my hand with so much love

As I lay strapped down to a bed

If this was planned to save our souls

We barely hung on by a thread



So if we died last night our rather beautiful insides

Would have become one with the cloth upholstery

If we died last night would you have kissed me goodbye

Before I eagerly ate the airbag?



Never felt so happy just to hear you breathe

Or so lucky that you were holding on to me

This occasion calls for some affection, dear

Tonight we're both right here



If we had just sort of died last night

Our young and innocent insides

Would have been wasted on the cold gray road

I might have died last night

So please, please kiss me goodbye

Before the high beams turn to moonlight
