Somewhere someone puts all of their faith in a fast car,
California opened your legs.
Well, honey, your feet, they ain't as pretty as you think.
My teeth are all still crooked on the inside.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money, 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked, 'cause that's all you're good for.
I'm sure they all agree.
They take you home to help make you forget about me.
when they turn to sleep,
you're wide awake,
you spend the whole night staring up at the ceiling.
Don't justify, now you're no better than Justine.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked.
You said it was suicide
on the Fourth of July.
I say it saved my life.
I just wish you had died.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
let me sweat this out.
I can only see you naked.
You're not in that car.
You're not spending all your mother's money, because that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked,
that's all you're good for.
California opened your legs.
Well, honey, your feet, they ain't as pretty as you think.
My teeth are all still crooked on the inside.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money, 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked, 'cause that's all you're good for.
I'm sure they all agree.
They take you home to help make you forget about me.
when they turn to sleep,
you're wide awake,
you spend the whole night staring up at the ceiling.
Don't justify, now you're no better than Justine.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked.
You said it was suicide
on the Fourth of July.
I say it saved my life.
I just wish you had died.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
let me sweat this out.
I can only see you naked.
You're not in that car.
You're not spending all your mother's money, because that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked,
that's all you're good for.

ouch, harsh.
basically he doesn't have any feelings for her, he's just in it for the sex. like so many guys are..
To me, the song tells the story of two lovers who ran away, thus the faith in fast cars. I think he realized, once they got to California and slept together that he didn't really love her--didn't even like her, actually. It sounds like he seriously regrets it. This explanation makes more sense with the lyrics--well, at least to me, it does. For example, "your not spending all your mother's money 'cause that makes you feel secure" sounds like she took money from her mother before running away and she has it all carefully counted so it will last.
I can really see it all playing out in my head... A car driving on the freeway at night, the camera zooms in and you see two people looking angry but not speaking. A few flashbacks to the "happy days" and then back to the car. Our couple's sitting in a motel room. He's at the end of the bed with his head in his hands and she's propped up against the headboard, arms crossed. She starts poking him with her foot...
Yeah. It's a great song.
