traffic lights turning blue
everyone that we burn through
only me and you, queen of booze
ain't no furniture in our house
no screaming and fighting anymore
the living room turns blue
we're both sleeping on the floor
I want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until I can't run no more
living with one eye closed and
one eye on the cage door
everyday is the day that i'll die
and be afraid no more
when dad found out about
where we were hiding out
he came down like a sea of rage, crashing onto the shore
I want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until I can't run no more
I let the years go by, I let no one know what's inside
my broken heart keeps a beat just fine
I don't want to die no more
I see my future and my past
all at once in a lightning flash
all you can do is laugh until you just can't no more
I want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until I can't run no more
I want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until I can't run no more
