Speedy Ortiz Cash Cab Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As up above, then so below
Who pays?

Rat king of the ward
Fell slack on the course
Then silvered away
What does he retain?

[Chorus]
He can't remember a thing, fleeing the chalk of his mess
All of the smart ones repress
They get amnesia
And now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead
What a night to forget
Only an empty head says, "I wanna be with somebody."

[Verse 2]
It went below
And as I foretold
You'll pay

How wisely he roars
The chariot lord
Dragged every which way
Tell me, what do you retain?

[Chorus]
You can't remember a thing
Torn between too many heads
All of the bad ones repress
They get amnesia
And now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead
I want amnesia just to please you again
Here goes another empty threat:

[Bridge]
I wanna be with somebody just like me
Someone who laughs at a crashed car rental
Someone who hurts in an accident
Someone as scared of abandonment

[Outro]
And all I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts
And all I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me
I'll do all this when you pay me
