Soft & Sweet - Postcards to Chelsea Lyrics

"I'm waiting on a black car
To come and take me away"
Where the windows are tinted
And the chauffeur won't tell me his name
I tell him "Road to Recovery"
This f*cker laughs at me
Says "I hate to tell ya, honey, but that route is blocked
And if you go there, you'll be dead on the street"

So I take my first steps into the right direction
Got a simple goal in mind and it's a means of protection
Leon holds my hand, I tell him it's alright
He's screaming "I can keep you safe for the night!"
I tell him "If salvation never comes, then lay me down in the daises"
I'll set fire to my body for the way it betrayed me
And everyone back home is sending postcards to Chelsea
I haven't read a single word yet
It hurts too much to try

I could've sworn that I heard angels
Try to lure me away
With promises of morphine and a God to come and heal all my pain
I don't buy it for a minute
'Cause what would he have to say
When I ask why my prayers were never enough?
He couldn't save me when I said I give up

So I take my first steps into the right direction
Got a simple goal in mind and it's a means of protection
Leon holds my hand, I tell him it's alright
He's screaming "I can keep you safe for the night!"
I tell him "If salvation never comes, then lay me down in the daises"
I'll set fire to my body for the way it betrayed me
And everyone back home is sending postcards to Chelsea
I haven't read a single word yet
It hurts too much to try

I kinda thought that Maine would
Be a nice place to die
Scatter postcards
Across Chelsea
In the New England sky
It's only five hours away
It doesn't feel very long
But these weak legs
They can't walk straight
Until the mountains are gone
