I sat upon a plastic chair
The humid night was thick with glare
A chip across my painted rim
The motel light was getting dim
I am just a cup of clay
Left behind and thrown away
Cold as stone in oil rain
Drinking deep the asphalt stain
A heavy boot came crashing down
The loudest noise in this dead town
I rolled across the gravel grit
A broken piece, a jagged hit
I am just a cup of clay
Left behind and thrown away
Cold as stone in oil rain
Drinking deep the asphalt stain
The coffee dried in brown rings tight
I watched the flickering purple light
A stray dog sniffed my ceramic skin
While the midnight wind began to spin
I am just a cup of clay
Left behind and thrown away
Cold as stone in oil rain
Drinking deep the asphalt stain
The engine roared a sudden sound
Tires screaming on the frozen ground
A silver car slid through the muck
I waited there for a stroke of luck
No one came to pick me up
Just a lonely, empty cup
Tossed aside in a parking lot
Where the summer air grew hot
The salt air bites the painted blue
I remember when the glaze was new
Now I sink in the muddy black
And there ain't no way of going back
I am just a cup of clay
Left behind and thrown away
Cold as stone in oil rain
Drinking deep the asphalt stain
Drinking deep the stain
Just a cup of clay
(Crash)
