Lyrics
Well I drove to Laredo
I had the big eyes in my head
Well I drove to Laredo
I had the big eyes in my head
They were lookin' for a small dark somethin'
There's a stain in the trunk, man
That'll never ever ever come out
There's a stain in the trunk, man
That'll never ever ever come out
Was shaped like a small dark somethin'
It was all about a small dark somethin'
Livin' in a motel called Motel
Out on Refinery Road
Well the Sandman's dead so we walk the floor
The Sandman's dead. we don't sleep no more
We shot dope till the money ran out
We shot dope till the money ran out
We shot dope till the money ran out
Money ran out
Well I drove home from Laredo
I had the fireflies in my head
Well I drove home from Laredo
I had the fireflies in my head
They were circlin' 'round a small dark somethin'
They were lightin' up a small dark somethin'
It was all about a small dark somethin'
They were lookin' for a small dark somethin'
