Twisted Layer Lyrics by Virgil Shaw

Quad Cities

2000

[Verse 1]
Oh, he saved up the money
Now it's out on the lawn
And there's cigarettes on the dashboard
But the engine is gone
He needs a place he can get away
From the anger inside
He needs a place he can hide away
So he pretends to die
[Chorus]
The smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's sitting
And smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's driving
[Verse 2]
The rottweiler drove fast
His new life didn't last long
He put too much soap in the laundry
And there's ice on the pond
[Chorus]
The smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's sitting
Oh and smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's driving
[Bridge]
And his brother he lives
Somewhere in town
Building dollhouses
And burning them down
[Verse 3]
So you say that you're leaving
You just sit by the wall
'Til the sun sinks past the light post
And it dives down the hall
[Chorus]
The smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's sitting
And smoke curls the air
In a white twisted layer
But it's his car
And he's driving
