Once Upon a Time at Texaco pt. 1 Lyrics by Amigo the Devil

Yours Until the War is Over

2024

[Verse 1]
We were sitting at the party drinking heavy
Yelling "Believe in Life after Love"
We were so damn drunk
Doing our best impressions of Cher that we all could
Until someone said, "I'd kill for more tequila"
Another voice said, "Fuck man, we're out of drugs"
In a moment of silence, I had an idea
Slowly started standing up
Oh-oh-oh-oh, just let me use your car and I'll go
I didn't have money, but I knew that my friend
He always kept a pistol in the car
So I parkеd down the street, where no onе would see me
And walked into the gas station store
[Chorus]
Yelling, "La-la-da-da-die
Don't start to cry
Just give me what I want and I'll go
La-da-da-die
Put the money inside
'Cause no one wants to die in a Texaco"
[Verse 2]
I was staring at the man behind the counter
The customers were laying on the floor
I said, "We're going to sing a song, it's called 'The Sound of Silence'
And you, just open the fucking drawer"
But he pulled out a gun like a magician
Well, I've also learned some magic through the years
My bullet hocus pocus'ed through the back of his head
And made the side of his jaw disappear
[Chorus]
Goddamnit, la-la-da-da-die
I told you not to try
Look at what you made me do
La-da-da-die
Now you're gonna die
The only one to blame here is you
[Verse 3]
"I'm guessing that you all feel like a hostage
But I'm sure it feels nice to be held"
Though comedy and tragedy historically are linked
The joke didn't go over too well
"Oh, please let us go, I promise that we won't say a thing"
I said, "The next thing you do decides the version of you
That your family will see again"
I had no idea where I was going
But I just knew I had to get out of this town
"Just give me your keys, you're coming with me"
A few minutes later we were nowhere to be found
[Chorus]
La-la-da-da-die
Enjoy the ride
Keep your eyes on the road
La-da-da-die
There was the sign
A hundred twenty miles from Mexico
[Outro]
And then it hit me
