Gosh you’re so loud banging around back there
If only you would have gotten on your knees after dinner
But you had to be difficult so here we are
driving without a destination
I just need to find a place to leave you
Somewhere you won’t be found for a while
Your making too much noise,
I thought the dead were supposed to be quiet
