Clutch – Passive Restraints lyrics
(Fallon, Gaster, Maines, Sult)
Went to the five and dime, bought myself a copy of Time,
and on the cover was a woman that I knew when I was excavating in the
mountains of Peru.
I caught a plane to L.I.A.. I didn't know what I would say.
Maybe she would like me I had lost a lot of weight since she had last seen me
in 1988.
Went to a local bar and ordered a cerveza,
asked a man about the woman on the cover,
dijo, "Claro que sí, es el presidente's daughter."
Asked him where she might be. He said, "You did not hear this from me.
The girl is a terrorista en las montanas a Chuquibambilla."
Took a bus through mountains. Oh my head was pounding.
Got to stay strong and carry on. Got to stay strong it won't be long.
Arrived in the villa surrounded by guerillas. Then my girl took me in her
arms.
She said, "How have you been? Oh, but I'll see you again."
I woke up in a coffin underneath an altar to the east of Machu Pichu.
Crawled from the royal tomb. The sun was bright it burned my eyes.
I knew that she was gone so I went down to the riverside and I cried cried
cried.
Down to the riverside and I cried cried cried.
Muchas veces I don't know if I'm coming or I'm going.
Muchas veces I'm at a loss as what to do.
Muchas veces I don't know if I'm coming or I'm going.
Muchas veces I'm at a loss as what to do.
My friend said, "She's nothing but pain."
I said, "I still love her the same. All she needs is a little bit of love and
I'm sure I can make her change some."
"What about that girl in Zaire that you met while a volunteer?
She got quite the education and quite the pair of legs on her."
"Oh, she married an Englishman, a correspondent for CNN.
She thought he was rather handsome in a U.N. blue flak jacket.
Oh, I see where you're coming from, but for me there is no other one.
I must be on my merry way."
Went to the five and dime, bought myself a copy of Time,
and on the cover was a woman that I knew claiming she was a kahuna on Oahu.
Caught a plane to H.I.A. The sun was bright it burned my eyes.
I knew that she was near because I felt shivers on my spine. I felt fine,
fine, fine.
Shivers on my spine. I felt fine, fine, fine.
