Our Lady of the Highway

WAS IT ANGER OR LOVE THAT CREATED OUR LADY OF THE HIGHWAY? WAS IT LOVE'S REGRET OR JUST THE GIDDY THRILL OF REVENGE? THEY SING THE QUIET PARTS WITH EYES CLOSED BUT DANCE THROUGH THE SAD REFRAINS. THEIR NEW CD IS A SHORT STORY CALLED "KILL YOU WITH NUMBERS."



If it's possible, we've completely wasted, half our lives in a city that we might end

up hating. (Go Home)



Why do I lie? Why do I wonder what it would be like to kill you with numbers? (You Don't Know Me)



I get the sense you don't remember these things quite like I do: it was raining, it

was a Tuesday, you wore green. (I Get The Sense)



Perhaps it's always been like this, but there's something horribly wrong in your kiss.

It's like you stopped playing along. (Something's Wrong)



At the restaurant, all that I wanted was for you to drop your guard so that I could

try, for one last time, to get you in the back seat of my car. (She Sees Through Me)



I'll buy you one last round of regret and steal a kiss, but you're right, nothing good

can come from this. (Nothing Good)



It's harder than I thought it'd be, and you're harder than I thought you'd be, at least you're smarter than me. (Mercy)



There's a hole in my life where she used to be. I kept that wound open for everyone

to see. (Pride)



One thing I'll never forget is that a regret, only becomes a debt, if you let it. (Reprise)



SEVENS OR THREES? NINE TIMES THE DRAMA? AND THEY THINK WE DON'T KNOW THEM.
