lyrics

Like a truck backing up
Like a girl who's leaving today
the solution is worse than the problem
everybody gets in everybody else's way

Like a truck backing up
like a world run by faceless bureaucrats
the solution is worse than the problem
you didn't think it could get as bad as that

But I'm gonna hold you close
until that horrible beeping subsides
I'm gonna be your friend
until I lose my senses or until I die

Like a truck backing up
like two lovers ensnared by a shiny ring
Everybody knows everybody else's business
nobody understands a goddamn thing

Like a truck backing up
this old world has been ill-advised
Everybody knows, everybody knows
everybody knows, that the caution tape is just an alibi

But we just got to hold on
until that horrible beeping subsides
Just shut your ears and think of a pretty tune
a funeral march or a lullaby

yeah, I'm gonna hold you close
until that horrible beeping subsides
yeah I'm gonna be your friend
until I lose my senses, or until I die

Like a truck backing up
Like a girl who's leaving today
the solution is worse than the problem
once you start giving, you just have to pay and pay, yeah
