Changed my name

Changed my name

Lyrics

With the date circled in red I'll engineer my getaway.
I've got a bad case of the whens but my escape plan has been delayed,
And so you say to my dismay, "Why not just stay home instead? The time will come another day."
Oh no.

Because I changed my name, I don't look the same,
sold my car, and I'm packed to take the train,
I cut my hair, I got sunglasses to wear.
I crash my car and leave a note to say that I'm okay. I never fit here anyway.

Because I changed my name, I don't look the same,
turned on the stove and I left my house in flames,
I cut my hair, I got sunglasses to wear.
I crash my car and leave a note to say that I've gone away. I thought about you everyday.

so rad! every time i put on my gigantic california sunglasses i think of this song. i like how the melody sounds so whimsical but the lyrics are violent and extreme. the passerines version which features exceptional "oh ohs" is also excellent--your songs lend themselves to awesome backing vocals, which is hard to pull off (for me, anyway).
