Vanity Plate - Daniel Mustard

Sign says no turning on red

No idling either

And sign says, at least what I read, no stopping here neither

And I should’ve known by now, I’d never get so much as a breather so

I stall instead, so my sign says

Sign says half a mile more and we can pullover

Sign says watch for the dogs this close to the shoulder

I could’ve held my own but everything I hold’s growin' colder so

On foot I fled, so my sign says

I know it’s late, but what is the time when the stars shone so great

Don’t leave me alone in this car

Aching and breaking

Taken in by the interstate

Cause I can’t relate to your vanity

Sign says, while travelling at night, don’t drive too rapid and

Sign says stop at the light

And you duck through traffic and

I should’ve bet by far for better but

My fears are too graphic so I’ll go my mind

So my sign says

I know it’s late

But what is the time when the stars shone so great

Don’t leave me alone in this car

Aching and breaking

Taken in by the interstate

Cause I can’t relate to your vanity

And when you’re gone, oh I’ll never find my way home

Street lamps alone could never light a long-winding road like

Fragments of bones, scattered across the sky

Could illuminate

Why

By your grace, go

I know its late, but what is the time when the stars shone so great

Don’t leave me alone in this car

Aching and breaking

Taken in by the interstate

Cause I can’t relate

To your vanity

I can’t relate to your vanity, plate

I can’t relate to your vanity
