[Verse 1]
Black glass
Rain in the chrome
Street lamps smear
Like ghosts going home
Velvet drape
On a pinewood bed
Name on the brass
What was it you said?
Your ring in my pocket
Cold as your stare
I taste the vows
Still hanging in the air
[Chorus]
This is the last ride
Last stop
You and I
Coffin in the back
And your shadow by my side
Hold your breath tight
As the crows divide the sky
If love had to die
I had to drive
This last ride
[Verse 2]
White lace
Stuck to my wrist
Smudge of your lipstick
I never kissed
Engines hum
Like a dragged-out prayer
Carnations crushed
In the shaking air
You wanted a chapel
I brought you a gate
Marble and ivy
Are better for fate
[Chorus]
This is the last ride
Last stop
You and I
Coffin in the back
And your shadow by my side
Hold your breath tight
As the crows divide the sky
If love had to die
I had to drive
This last ride
[Bridge]
Hear the gravel crack
Under rubber
Under rage (oh)
Every heartbeat
Hammered like a nail in the cage
If you haunt me
Haunt me in that silk and lace
I’ll bring flowers
You bring grace
[Chorus]
This is the last ride
Last stop
You and I
Coffin in the back
And your shadow by my side
Hold your breath tight
As the crows divide the sky
If love had to die
I had to drive
Into the dark side
On this last ride
