Omaha from KLMNO by Edward Hartline

don't look at me the way i look at you
let's just do the kinds of things that broken people do
let's drink a toast to omaha
driving fast and living long
another chain to drag along

my heart is dry like an old ashtray
it's heard the words that people like us used to say
it's seen its share of fire
warmth and desire
smoke and mirrors and liars

so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's take this car as far as it can go
and only save enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone

don't talk to me the way i talk to you
as if i'm worth more trouble than just passing through
let's pour one out for omaha
single file and double crossed
getting out means getting lost

your heart is wild like an old junkyard
but it's not broken it's just pieces that you pulled apart
and we can make something better
something worn something weathered
but that can run for forever

so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's drive this car as far as it'll go
and only save enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone

so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's save all our sad stories for the road
and only write enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone

don't look at me the way i look at you
just let me use this busted light to get a better view
of the skyline we left in omaha
the road we took and the one we're on
almost here and almost gone
