Murder Suspect Girlfriend

"Diane, something happened last week that proved to be life changing. I went to a local music store in a town where I was holed up on an 
undercover mission. Nothing too intense, just some normal stake out kind of procedures. My cover allows me to practice my drums while I'm 
on duty. Best case ever. 

Anyway, Diane, while at said music store, trying to find a certain obscure ride cymbal, the store clerk who was helping me managed to drop a 
drum machine on my kick foot, giving me two hairline fractures. Diane, remind me to send a thank you card to the store clerk. I believe his name was 
Bradlee. He was very kind and helpful. 

While laying on the floor in pain, realizing I wouldn't be able to drum for a while, even if I did find that cymbal when I made it back to me feet, 
I decided I should let fate intervene and buy the drum maching that landed on my kick foot. Diane, D3 was right, the digitakt is a machine not to be 
taken lightly, pun intended. 

Needless to say, I've been anti drum machine my whole life until now. The guys jaws dropped when I sent them some fine soothing 
energy transferring electronic beats to play with for our new single. Diane, remind me to designa  foot cast that doesn't itch. 
- Coop."

Passenger Braking

if I were to cop a ride with you
I would brake so hard
you would die by shards

I shouldn't be mean
my mouth just won't stop
don't drive me crazy
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

if I could find pedals on my side
I would brake so fast
you would fly right past

I shouldn't be mean
my brain just won't stop
if you make me hate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

passenger fails, my patience pales
I would brake so quick
that would do the trick

I shouldn't be mean
my jaw just won't stop
want to test your fate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power
