Shovels & Rope - Domino Lyrics

September 30, 1955
Grease sticking in my hair, sticks sticking in my thigh
Got that sweet silver Spider, got that sugar in my eye
Gonna push her 'til she's smoking, gonna break her '85

Tire fire, warming up the smoke
Firecrackers strapped to a can of coke
The squeal in the wheel and the speed in the choke
Immortal 'cause America can never let me go
Did I die last night? Am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino

Iconic, supersonic
Fifties America, you know you want it
I'm Jimmy Starr, I'm out the door
That's what they say, they say you leave 'em wanting more, more, more
And the mood of your broody generation
I'm you, I'm what you're chasing

I'm the face that free-wheelin' dealer's making
Queue all the girls and the boys and the parents hearts shaking
Did I die last night, am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah

566, 545
54, I hit the side
I'm the '08, give me the lasso
Guess I'll get Paul Newman to play Rocky Graziano
I'm the mood of your broody generation
I'm you (yep) I'm what you're chasing

I'm the face that free-wheelin' dealer's making
Queue all the girls and the boys and the parents hearts racing
Did I die last night, am I walking around?
I'm here but not me, I'm a ghost
I'm a domino
I'm a domino
