6 Volts

6 Volts and 12 Volts

Couldn't get it started this morning

The cables were sparking

I had them on backwards

I burned my fingers

I saw you and that guy

When you finally went by

You were smoking cigarettes

And drinking black coffee

And how did I know

How did I know

My clutches are slipping

The carbon gets in my throat and I choke

You get out on the passenger side

I swallow my pride

The radiator's raging like a murderer

Only God can bend tempered steel

How did I know

How did I know

Straight off the line

Your dress was gun-metal blue

You turned and you waved at a face in the crowd

I burned my fingers

Something choked the life

And it sputtered and died

I crushed my hand on God's tempered steel

How did I know

How did I know

How did I know

How did I know
