Lyrics of Sunscreen

Cruising my blue city in a third world limousine
An overcoat, a notebook, and a bottle of sunscreen
Waiting for the light so i could get things moving faster
With two hundred dollars american
And a penchant for disaster

Stay sharp, party hard
I've never known the devil to sleep in a car

When i turned the corner i saw mary in her stance
White as a museum with a switchblade in her hand
So i slowed down and shouted
"mary, should i be believing?"
She said, "i'm working as a statue,
Just pretend that i'm not breathing"

Stay cool, know the rule
I've never known a fish to drown in a pool
Stay sharp, party hard
I've never known the devil to sleep in a car

Further up the road there was a drive by kiss and tell
I didn't know the policemen
But i knew the victim oh so well
So when the red lights started flashing
I said "allah, saints be praised"
He swept his hand across the road
And moved me to another state

Stay straight, don't relate
I've never known a cow to jump on a plate
Stay cool, know the rule
I've never known a fish to drown in a pool

Now i'm lost and wandering
And the fast food signs are gone
It's snowing in the desert
And there's no one to spend my money on
I don't know if i'll ever see my city shore again
At least i have my sunscreen
So i can die without a suntan

Stay pale, hear the tale
I've never known the devil to sunburn in hell
Stay sharp, party hard
I've never known the devil to sleep in a car
