(Theme From) Carjack Fever - Lyrics - Harvey Danger

Harvey Danger was an American indie rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1993, and rose to prominence in 1998 with the single "Flagpole Sitta", which is also used as the theme tune to the British sitcom "Peep Show". On August 29, 2009, the band played its final show at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle. The band's debut album, Where have all the merrymakers gone?, has sold over 500,000 copies, with "Flagpole Sitta" still receiving regular airplay around the world. On July 29, 2014, 17 years to the day after its initial release, Where have all the merrymakers gone? was re-released on vinyl as an LP by the independent record label No Sleep Records.

Well, there's a bright white light To shine shine on all the dim bulbs in the crowd tonight And there's a thin yellow line to separate the fast lane And there's a man I know, he'll take apart your engine if you ask him right; Let's empty all the minibars and leave this town in flames. He's starving for attention, She's swallowing her pride. Bitter gall for bleeding ulcers, Attitudes you can't abide. A sentence fragment city, A poor excuse for a life of crime. This is not a road picture, We are not amused (or surprised). You don't need a passport to know what state you're in. She wore barrettes of many colors in her many-colored hair. That's not the point -- they only notice what you wear. She said, "the moon is a toenail, the stars are a guardrail, My heart is a sandpail... and you're Toluca lake." Stop the traffic! Bend the time! We're heading into territory too ugly to explore (but they've both been there before). He quotes Nathanael West. She tries her best, But can't find a mouth to grin with -- 'Cause a tragedy requires a little greatness to begin with... You are ill wind, you blow no good; A pissant under glass, an airport neighborhood. Earthquake survivor, feral youngsters smoking tea. Spit in your hands and see you splinter every tree. Culver City! Beachwood Drive! Vesper Avenue! Hey hey! The needle on the radiator Rising as the road inclines. The scene is going nowhere fast; He's shooting highway signs. She carves her sorry epitaph, A carjack fever scrawl: "If you only live in movies maybe you don't really live at all." You don't need a passport to know what state you're in, To know what state you're in, To know what state you're in, To know what state you're...
