Spose ft. Grieves - Take You Home Lyrics

Everybody won’t you please buckle up
As I step behind the wheel
Gonna take you to a small little town
In the dark where it’s really real
It might look so nice in pictures
But I swear that you don’t know
That underneath the surface all the
Scary things are lurking
Come on baby let me take you home

As we take a left turn onto roads that’s dirt
We see a raccoon scurry
And the crows disperse
And up here on the left, my ex-Barber
Jeff shot his wife to death
Then he turned the gun
And killed himself next
And up here on the right
That’s the tree where my
Sister’s friend Christine
Hit the shit and died when she was 15
Never got drunk or went to precalc
Memorialized in car decals
And on the left if you look
Into the window ‘hind those evergreens
You’ll see a 23 year old having sex
With a girl who is 17
And if we park right here
An owl’s eating a mouse
We see Sandra silhouetted, soundless
Leaving her house
To go and cheat on her spouse
Saw my region looking scenic in
That picture you took
But you could always find the dirt
If you know where to look get in the car
Everybody won’t you please buckle up
As I step behind the wheel
Gonna take you to a small little town
In the dark where it’s really real
It might look so nice in pictures
But I swear that you don’t know
That underneath the surface all the
Scary things are lurking
Come on baby let me take you home

As we continue the voyage into southern Wells
That’s the barn where my
Homie’s sister hung herself
We never talked about it when
We’re there for dinner
Even though the walls still got
All her school pictures
Oh that restaurant over there
That’s a tourist trap
Where my buddy Jack’s dad
Snapped like a quarterback
It was Friday evening
Man it must have been insane
He tried to run over Jack’s
Stepdad at the custody exchange
Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the restaurant
The cook feel blurry, it's plural Estefan’s
Grinding the teeth in his tattoo’d face
Did coke off the toilet in his bathroom break
And up here on the right
One night was snowy white like cool whip
I came across this chick I went
To school with walking by herself
I said, "Online
It looking like you were living the dream"
She wiped a tear, said
"Things aren’t always what they seem"
Everybody won’t you please buckle up
As I step behind the wheel
Gonna take you to a small little town
In the dark where it’s really real
It might look so nice in pictures
But I swear that you don’t know
That underneath the surface all the
Scary things are lurking
Come on baby let me take you home

My blinker signal like a vigil
In the darkest of night
Venus and Mars, stars all sparkling bright
Take a look at that apartment
There on your right
That’s where my friend Kate lived
The hardest of lifes she was pretty
Eighth grade had the carnal delights
She had a baby, born disabled
But this part isn’t right
Kate loved her as a mother
But she was 8 when she died
Now even when she’s full
Kate feels empty inside
But suffering is nothing new
You can’t be that surprised
'Cause there were 40 thousand
In the Abenaki tribe
By 1758, we killed ‘em all off
All these little kid bodies
Hauled off with smallpox
These roads paved on their graves
Waves crash like accidents
Killed them all then named
Our yearbook after ‘em
You might not see it when
You're staying in Maine
But it gets real when you peel
Away the layers of paint
Everybody won’t you please buckle up
As I step behind the wheel
Gonna take you to a small little town
In the dark where it’s really real
It might look so nice in pictures
But I swear that you don’t know
That underneath the surface all the
Scary things are lurking
Come on baby let me take you home

Take you home let me take you home, yeah
Getting dark outside, yeah
It’s getting dark outside, uh
It’s getting dark outside, yeah
Baby run and hide it’s getting dark outside
Let me take you home, yeah
It’s getting dark outside
Baby go run and hide
It’s getting dark outside, yeah you know it
Fuck off
