Lyrics
Your mom's old Nissan is rusting on blocks by the transformer fence.
I replaced its dead battery, but it still don't make sense.
So tell me now, Anna, when you look in my face,

[Chorus]
Swapped-out parts and a different name,
Are we the promise, or just the frame?
Just the frame.
[Outro]
(Music fades, then 4 seconds of silence)
...is it the same skin?
