Skyline Drive

[Verse 1]
She shimmers like the surface of a swimming pool
Staring out of blue horizon eyes
She's flippin' through the pages of the interview
Her fingernails are diamond white
She winces at the passing of a careless thought
Of butchered bodies in the morgue
And then she shakes her hair across her eyes
Like a closed blonde door

[Chorus]
"The crime wasn't low self-esteem this time"
He joked as they load in
The back door for a couple of stiffs
Up on Skyline Drive
A pastel sunset colored the sky
The city below them
He points down to the place that he lives
From up on Skyline Drive

[Post-Chorus]
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive, drive

[Verse 2]
Marble furniture the color of toothpaste
She sits beside the pool out in the sun
Teabag floats as if an astronaut in space
And menstruates in her silver cup
Sentry system picking up a bearded man
He's muttering under his breath
Up in the helicopter cameras roll
As he's shot to death

[Chorus]
"The crime wasn't low self-esteem this time"
He joked as they load in
The back door for a couple of stiffs
From up on Skyline Drive
A pastel sunset colored the sky
The city below them
He points down to the place that he lives
From up on Skyline Drive

[Post-Chorus]
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive, drive

[Outro]
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive, drive
