From the recording Personal Mythology
Lyrics
Black Escalade
My head’s too heavy
I can’t lay down now
She drove up in a black Escalade
Rolled down the window
Called my name
My heart was sick, with fear and shame
But I got in, just the same
For a while, it looked like it would be alright
But whoa, she had a big surprise
She said, “I will show you things you can’t believe could ever happen."
"Wouldn’t you like to know?”
“Come along with me, and you will never, ever be alone. “
My head’s too heavy
I can’t lay down now
She locked all the doors, ran the lights
Told me not to worry, or put up a fight
She said everything would be alright
She lied to me that night
She put my hand on her thigh
Whispered, “Hold tight. This will be the ride of your life”
She said…
She drove up in a black Escalade
Getting in was my first mistake
She said…"Trust me, I Know..."
