Monkey Trap
Clean Getaway 

Long brown hair 
Straight ahead gray stare 
And tattooed arms 

Meet me in Los Angeles 
Come for breakfast 
And bring your guitar 

There you can lie to me 
Till I believe you 
Stay for awhile 
But when you leave 

You'll make a clean getaway 

Your songs about my life 
Cut me like a sharp knife 
It's so bizarre 

Meet me in Atlanta 
If you won't or can't 
I'll come to where you are 

There you can lie to me 
Till I believe you 
Stay for awhile 
But when you leave 

You'll make a clean getaway 

Yeah you can lie to me 
Till I believe you 
Stay for awhile 
But when you leave 

You won't leave nothin, no souvenirs 
Just a note that says I'm so sorry dear 

​Clean getaway...
