  • Come and steal a car with me
    And we'll drive it to Belize
    Just show me the dotted line
    You know I'll sign it every time
    Build a boat out of some leaves
    And set sail for the Far East
    I dream of the trouble we'll get in
    How do you say help in Mandarin?

    And we try to sit still and feel it all
    But we'd rather run away than feel at all
    You know I can't say no
    Doing everything we can to increase the noise
    And we don't care if it's trash that fills the void
    You know I can't say no
    I can't say

    Let's go vandalize a hearse
    Steal some cash from your mother's purse
    And sign her up for a Ponzi scheme
    She'll be rich in cheap face cream
    Throw a bender in a cemetery
    Bribe the dead to leave us be
    We summon the demons that we repress
    Swallow a shot glass then get undressed

    Every bad idea just feels exactly like a great idea

    And we try to sit still and feel it all
    But we'd rather run away than feel at all
    You know I can't say no
    Doing everything we can to increase the noise
    And we don't care if it's trash that fills the void
    You know I can't say no

    Come and steal a car with me
    And we'll drive it to Belize
    Just show me the dotted line
    You know I'll sign it every time
    Throw a bender in a cemetery
    And behind bars we'll reconvene
    I can't say what the future holds
    All I know is I can't say, can't say no Writer/s: Eli Reuben Hirsch, Matthew Edward Murphy
