Lyrics

I drive a bus in the city
my only passenger is pity
I can't stop although I've tried
stopping I just can't abide
for stopping grants a chance from which I hide.

If I let you on this bus of mine
it's bound to crash it's bound to slide
on a slippy mess
of pain and fear and pride
I speed onward in disgrace
I have lost but I still race
for something that I thought I wanted won
now nothing can be done.

Show me the bravest man
as brave as only brave can be
I'll be the broken mass of blood there in the street
as I watch him walk away.

If I let you on this bus of mine
it's bound to crash it's bound to slide
on a slippy mess
of pain and fear and pride
I see love upon your face
but I can also see the trace
of the tragedy and torture up ahead.

You make me brave as brave
as I have ever dared to feel
with all your sweet and all your solidness I know I'll kill
as I open up my doors
but I won't drive alone no more.
