Ambulance

I definitely had early Elliott Smith in mind when I wrote this, but if it were to be a song with a melody it would sound a bit like a carefree Belle and Sebastian song to lighten the mood of it:

You got your ambulance all around town

At 3:00 AM, I can hear your siren's sound

So skinny and frail, so is your nature

So few of them are even worth a damn, that you nurture

But you poured your heart out for all their thirst

Give them the best, leaves you the worst

I think it's time you tried something new

How about you?

I think it's time you take on something new

How about...you?

You got your ambulance all around town

Both me and you know it's set to break down

You got love in your heart, but not in your eyes

And it's the cold concrete that'll slim you down a size

But you poured your heart out for all their thirst

Give them the best, leaves you the worst

I think it's time you tried something new

How about you?

I think it's time you take on something new

How about...you?
