Sunscreen Lyrics - Singles - Laslow Simplex

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
