Bright Eyes - Burn Rubber Lyrics
But if you turn the porch light on and let the marble night withdraw
you can smoke a cigarette on the wooden steps.
The mosquitoes are not vampires. The moon is not your mother
even if she is preparing for a total eclipse.
The clouds dream disorder. They make faces. They make mud
on some ancient order that is no longer enforced.
The sugar bowl is full of ants. Your sister is a dumpy mess.
And you are cutting off your head to spite your shoulders.
Get behind the wheel. Stay in front of the storm.
Get behind the wheel. Stay in front of the storm.

This reminds me of 888
Great cover of Simon Joyner
What's this song about?
"Get behind the wheel" meaning take control of your own life
"Stay in front of the storm" storm being symbolism for chaos in your life.
In other words.. stay two steps ahead of all your problems and keep control.
Yeah, it's almost all in the title. Just basically saying, "get the hell out of here, outrun your problems", although to me, the way it's delivered makes it almost seem like wishful thinking, i.e. you'll never really escape. It's also a cover, so it doesn't have as much jammed in as traditional Oberst
classic tune!
'you can smoke a cigarette on the wooden step~'
